Lyrics

Now, Love can be a man y splen dored thing,

I can’t de ny the joy it brings.

A doz en ros es, dia mond rings, (Db)dreams for sale, der, but and fair y tales.

It ’ll make you hear a sym pho ny,

and you just want the world to see.

But like a drug that makes you blind,

it ’ll fool you ev ’ry time.

my name.

The trou ble with (F)love is,

it can (A7)tear you up in side,

make your (Bb)heart be lieve a lie.

It’s (Db)strong er than your pride.

The (Eb)trou ble with (F)love is,

it does n’t (A7)care how fast you fall,

and you (Bb)can’t re fuse the call.

See, you’ve (Db)got no say at all,

(Bb)oh.

Now, I was once a a y fool, it’s true.

I played the game by all the rules,

but now my world’s a deep er blue.

(Db)dreams I’m sad der, but I’m wis er too.

It I swore I’d nev er love a gain.

I swore my heart would nev er mend.

But Said love was n’t worth the pain,

it but then I hear it call my name.

The trou ble with (F)love is,

it can (A7)tear you up in side,

make your (Bb)heart be lieve a lie.

It’s (Db)strong er than your pride.

The (Eb)trou ble with (F)love is,

it does n’t (A7)care how fast you fall,

and you (Bb)can’t re fuse the call.

See, you’ve (Db)got no say at all,

(Bb)oh.

(Db)got no say at all.

Ev ’ry time I turn a round,

I think I’ve got it all fig ured out.

(A7)My heart keeps call in’ and I keep on fall in’, (Dm7)o ver and o ver a gain.

This sad sto ry al ways ends the same:

Me, stand in’ in the pour in’ rain.

It seems, no mat ter what I do, it (Bb)tears my heart in two.

(The trou ble with (F)love is,

it can (A7)tear you up in side,

make your (Bb)heart be lieve a lie.)

It’s (Db)strong er than your pride.

(The (Eb)trou ble with (F)love is,

does n’t (A7)care how fast you fall,

and you (Bb)can’t re fuse the call.)

See, you’ve (Db)got no say at all.

(The (Eb)trou ble with (F)love is,

it can (A7)tear you up in side,

make your (Bb)heart be lieve a lie.)

It’s (Db)strong er than your pride.

(The (Eb)trou ble with (F)love is,

does n’t (A7)care how fast you fall,

and you (Bb)can’t re fuse the call.)

See, you’ve (Db)got no say at all.

(The (Eb)trou ble with (Db)got no say at all.
