[Verse 1]
[D]Now if I sho[A]uld walk away

But instead [A]let's make each other [D]feel
That having our [Bm]love is twice
as [Em]much

Now should our mothers [A]say something
[D]About maybe doing each other wro[G]ng
I'd simply [A]say we can work it out
[D]And politely ask them to leave us alo[G]ne

[Verse 8]
And we won't let our [A]friends interfere
[D]Let our prob[C]lems to [G]them
be un[Gm]known

we're about to play
[D]Lord, Lord

[Verse 14]
