1.    Baby, when our hearts awoke,         think of all the rules we broke,

Fm                                                - Cm

    in the name of love we hoped,           little did we know.

Cm                                              - D7

    Darling, all the time we spent          ignoring all the consequences,

Fm                                              - Cm

    and hiding from big evidence            hoping things would change.

                    A                                                       F#m

    But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway,

                 A                                                      F#m

    to be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day,

                    D                        A          E

    keeping me alive till your rescue came.

      Am       F             G

    Honey, you mean everything to me !

You ought to know by now, love means everything,

 Dm                                G    F    G

you ought to know by now, only love can bring happiness.

 

  Cm                                              - D7

2  . Wishful thinking spent in vain        what to loose and what to gain,

Fm                                            - Cm

    all the guilt and all the pain           seemed to come away.

Cm                                                    - D7

    And baby when our hearts awoke        think of all the rules we broke,

Fm                                              - Cm

    in the name of love we spoke,         little did we know.

                   A                                                        F#m

    But the hope was there like a ray of sun on a cloudy day

               A                                            F#m

    any change from impossibility to the only way,

                     D                             A          E

    love can conquer all and it's here to stay.

     Am        F              G

    Honey, you mean everything to me !

 

  Dm                               G     F                G

You ought to know by now, love means everything,

you ought to know by now, only love can bring happiness.
