There’ll be girls a cross the na tion that ’ll (E7)eat this up, babe.

I know that it’s your soul, but could you (C)bot tle it up and get down to the heart of it?

No, it’s my heart; you’re shit out of your luck.

Don’t make me (C)tell you a gain, my love, love, love, love.

Love, love, love, love.

I am aim ing to be some bod y this (E7)some bod y trusts with her del i cate soul.

I don’t claim to know much ex cept soon as you start to make room for the parts that aren’t you, it gets hard er to bloom in a gar den of love, love, love, love.

Love, love, love, love.

(Am)On ly thing I (E)ev er could need, on ly one good thing worth (F)try ing to be, and it’s love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love.

(Love.) I do it for love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love.

We can un der stand the sen ti ment you’re (E7)say ing to us.

Oh, but sen si ble sells, so could you ly shut up and get start ed at keep ing your part of the bar gain.

Aw, please, lit tle dar lin’, you’re kill ing me sweet ly with love, love, love, love.

Love, love, love, love.

(Am)On ly thing I (E)ev er could need, on ly one good thing worth (F)try ing to be, and it’s love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love.

(Love.) I do it for love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love, (Love.) love.

But save your res o (Dm)lu tions for your nev er (F)New Year.

There is on ly one so (F)lu tion I can see (G)here.

(Am)Love, you’re all I (C)ev er could need.

On ly one good thing worth (F)try ing to be, and it’s love… On ly gon na get, (G)get what you give a way, so give love.
