Lyrics

Late ly I been (D)run nin’ on faith.

What else (D)can a poor boy do?

But my (C)world would be right

when love comes o ver (G)me.

Late ly I been (D)talk in’ in my

Can’t i (D)mag ine what I’d have to (Em7)say,

’cept my (C)world would be right

when love comes back my (G)way.

I’ve al ways (B7)been

one to (Em)take each and ev ’ry (C)day.

Seems like by now

I’d find a love who would (C)care,

care just for (D)me.

Then we’d (D)go run nin’ on (Em7)faith.

All of our (D)dreams would come (Em7)true.

And our (C)world would be right,

All of your (F6)dreams will come (C)true.

I said, when (G)love,

when love comes o ver you,

all of (F6)your dreams will (C)come true.

When love,

when love comes o ver you,

then all (F6)of your dreams (C)will come true.

(G)(Love comes (F6)o ver (C)you.
