Come o ver here;

Now give me rea son to live.
You give me rea son to live.
You give me rea son to live.

They’re try’n’ to tear us a part.
They don’t be lieve in this love of mine.
They don’t know what love is.
They don’t (C7)know what love is.
They don’t (C7)know what love (CN.C.)is.
They don’t (Fsus4)know what love is.
But (Fsus4)I know what love is.
(You can leave your hat (C7)on.)
