I’ve got a heart
and I’ve got a soul.
Be lieve me, I
will use them both.
We made a start,
be it a false one, I know.
Ba by, I don’t want
to feel a lone.
So (E)kiss me where I (D)lay down, my (E)hands pressed to your (D)cheeks.
A (E)long way from the (D)play ground.
I have loved you since we were eight een.
Long be fore we both thought the same thing.
To be loved and to be in love.
All I can do is say that these arms were made for hold (E)ing you, oh.
I want to love like you made (F#m)me feel
when we were eight een.
(CN.C.)We took a chance,
God knows we tried.
Yet all a long, I knew we’d be fine.
So pour me a drink, oh love,
let’s split the night wide o pen and we’ll see ev ’ry thing we can, live and love in slow (A)mo tion, mo tion, mo tion.
So we were eight een.
When we were eight een.
Oh, Lord,
when we were eight een.
(A)Kiss me where I (D)lay down, my (A)hands pressed to your (D)cheeks.
A (E)long way from the (D)play ground.
I have loved you since we were eight een.
Long be fore we both thought the same thing.
To be loved and to be in love.
And all I can do is say that these arms were made for hold (E)ing you, oh.
I want to love like you made (F#m)me feel
when we were eight een.
I want to love like you made (F#m)me feel
when we were eight een.
I want to love like you made (F#m)me feel
when (CN.C.)we were eight een.
