[Verse]
     C     Dm   Bb    C       F          Bb
Love will abide, take things in stride
A7                 Dm                G7        C
Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side
F   Bb  C         Dm   Bb       C        F      Bb
And time__ washes clean, love's wounds unseen
A7                  Dm             G7              C
That's what someone told me, but I don't know what it means

[Chorus]
       Bb             F           A7                   Dm    Bb
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
      F        C      Dm      Bb     F    C     F      Bb
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

[Verse]
       C   Dm     Bb         C        F       Bb
Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
A7              Dm                G7           C
I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near
F   Bb C      Dm   Bb     C          F      Bb
And I   never drew, one response from you
A7                Dm         G7          C
All the while you fell, over girls you never knew

[Chorus]
       Bb             F           A7                   Dm    Bb
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
      F        C      Dm      Bb     F    C     F
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
     C     Dm   Bb       C   F     Bb
Wait for the day, you'll go away
A7               Dm               G7               C
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
F   Bb  C          Dm   Bb    C        F        Bb
And life's full of flaws, who knows the cause?
A7          Dm          G7           C
Living in a mem'ry of a love that never was

[Chorus]
       Bb             F           A7                      Dm    Bb
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
      F        C      Dm      Bb     F    C     Dm
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

[Chorus]
     Bb             F           A7                   Dm    Bb
Yes, I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
      F        C      Dm      Bb     F     C    F
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
