           |E   |E   |D    A  |E    |E 

[verse: 1]
         |E         A      |E                    |A               |E     |E
When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our lives
        |E        A     |E                   |A        |E    |E
And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me 

[chorus: 1] 
       |E     |Bm     |E          |E
I love you________________   yeah

[verse: 2] 
       |E       A      |E               |A                |E     |E
In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea
       |E        A   |E               |A                 |E     |E
But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free

[chorus: 2] 
        |E    |Bm                 |E      |E   
And it's up to you, why won't you say
                                  
         |A         |G      |F#   |F#     B7    
Make our lives turn out this way

[bridge: 1]
        |G#m       |A                     |G#m
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose
   |A                         |F#m7   B
No reason to hide from what's true

[verse: 3] 
       |E        A     |E            |A                |E      |E
In the world of me and you all is forgotten when we're inside
        |E           A     |E             |A                   |E      |E
And the words that pass us by, I am not listening, all of it's lies
 
[chorus: 3]
        |E    |Bm                 |E      |E   
And it's up to you, why won't you say
         |A         |G      |F#   |F#  B7
Make our lives turn out this way

[bridge: 2
        |G#m       |A                     |G#m
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose
   |A                         |F#m7   
No reason to hide from what's true
