The Notebook - If This Is Love Original Broadway Cast Version

	  		

Intro 

F 

 
Verse 1:
F 
  I've waited every day to feel the way I feel 
F/E 
  Knots in my stomach, the kind that never heal 
Dm                                           B       C 
  Butterflies that fly in me and never seem to go away 

Verse 2:
F 
  Sick to my stomach when I think about his face 
F/E 
  But in a good way, in a way I can't replace 
Dm                                           B      C 
  Nothing can stop this, it's almost like a hurricane 


   F 
If this is love, I'm not ready 
   C 
If this is love, why am I so unsteady? 
   Dm 
If this is love, why did no one tell me 
    B                 C 
The pain that I would feel? 

   F 
If this is love, maybe I'm ready 
    F/F 
How do I know, I'm in my head again 
   Dm 
If this is love, I think I'm in it 
   B                   C          F 
If this is, if this is, if this is love 


Verse 3:
F 
 The world around me says no but I say yes 
F/F 
  I want to scream it out instead it's stuck inside my chest 
Dm 
  It's like a bird in a rage, in a cage 
        B            C 
And nobody wants to free me 


   F 
If this is love, I'm not ready 
   C 
If this is love, why am I so unsteady? 
   Dm 
If this is love, why did no one tell me 
    B                 C 
The pain that I would feel? 

   F 
If this is love, maybe I'm ready 
    C 
How do I know, I'm in my head again 
   Dm 
If this is love, I think I'm in it 
   B                   C          F 
If this is, if this is, if this is love 


Bridge:
            Dm 
I think I'm in it 
          B 
And in between it 
       C 
And upside down 


Outro 
              Gadd2 
If this is love 
           D 
If this is love 
Fm                             Am7 
This is what all the songs are about 
           G/B             C 
This is why I have to break out 
        G/D                 Am7 
This is what I can't live without 
     G/B 
I am ready now 
C         D  G 
I am ready for love!
