And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.

Shar ing hor (Fmaj7)i zons that are (C)new to us,

Talk ing it (Amaj7)o ver just the (E)two of us,

And when the eve ning (Abmaj7)comes

And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.

Shar ing hor (Fmaj7)i zons that are (C)new to us,

watch ing the (Fmaj7)signs a long the (Cmaj7)way.

Talk ing it (Amaj7)o ver just the (E)two of us,

work ing to (Amaj7)geth er day to (Bb7sus)day,

to (Bb9sus)geth er.

to geth er.

And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.
