and (Am)now you (Bdim)call it (D7)mad ness, but (G)I call (C6)it (G)love.

You made a (C)prom ise to be (Cm)faith ful, (D7)by (G)all the (B7)stars a (E7)bove;

and (Am)now you (Bdim)call it (D7)mad ness, I (G)still call (C6)it (G)love.

My heart is (G7)beat ing, it keeps re (G7)peat ing (C)for you (E7)con stant (Am)ly;

you’re all I’m (E7)need ing, and so I’m (E7)plead ing, (C)“Please, come (Cm)back to (D7)me!” You made a (C)play thing out of (Cm)ro mance!
