(A)I

fell a sleep (Bm)late last night,

and I dreamed the night and al most half the (A)day a way.

I (A)just (D)got up

so that (D)I could (E)hear her (F#m7)say

(Bm7)she’s still in love and no one could (D)take her love a way.

Ooh, (A)love And I wakes me up ev er y day,

and I (D)thought (A)no (D)one could (E)ev (D)er make (A)me feel this way.

It (A)fills (D)me up

ev ’ry (D)time I hear her say

(Bm7)she’s still in love and no one could (D)take her love a way.

I (A13)wan na be loved,

there’s noth ing (E13)bet ter than love.

What in the (G6)world could you ev er be (D)think ing of?

It’s (A13)bet ter by (Dmaj7)far.

So let your self (E13)reach for that star, and go no (G6)mat ter how far to the (D)one you love,

to (A)love.

And I mean all these words I’ve y said.

You don’t (D)have (A)to (D)guess what’s (E)go (D)ing on (A)in side my head.

Just (A)try (D)to know

all the (D)things that our hearts say.

(Bm7)Lis ten to love and al ways get (D)love to lead the way.

When (A13)ev er you love,

there’s noth ing (E13)bet ter than love.

What in the (G6)world could you ev er be (D)think ing of?

It’s (A13)bet ter by (Dmaj7)far.

So let your self (E13)reach for that star, and go no (G6)mat ter how far to the (D)one you love,

to (D)one you love.

(For love, for love.) You know for love I’d go an y where.

(For (E)love.)

I would go there.

(Fmaj9)(For ya, for love.) For love, to the end of no where.

It’s for her love, and for her love I would go.

I would, I would go.

And I would love (D)one you love,

the one.

There’s noth ing (E13)bet ter than love.

What in the (G6)world could you ev er be (D)think ing of?

Ooh.

It’s (A13)bet ter by (Dmaj7)far.

So let your self (E13)reach for that star, and go no (G6)mat ter how far to the (D)one you love,
