C - F - C (2x)

C

1. Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown,

C

I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.

F C - F-C

I was soft inside, there was something goin' on.

C

You do something to me that I can't explain,

C

hold me closer and I feel no pain,

F C

ev'ry beat of my heart we got something goin' on,

F

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication,

Fm

all this love we feel needs no conversation.

C

We ride it together, uh huh,

C

makin' love with each other, uh huh.

C F

Islands in the stream, that is what we are,

Dm

no one in between, how can we be wrong ?

C F

Sail away with me to another world,

C

and we rely on each other, uh huh,

Dm C

from one lover to another, uh huh.

ev'rything is nothing if you got no one.

And you did walk in the night,

No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never,
