I’m an absolute
beginner, but
I’m absolutely sane.

As long as we’re
together, the
rest may go to hell,
F C - Bb Am
I absolutely love you, but we’re absolute beginners,

eyes completely open, but nervous all the same.

If our love song could fly over mountains,
Am E
could laugh at the oceans, just
like the films.
F G C F

to lay down the hard lines, it’s
absolutely true.

certain to succeed.
