Gordon Lightfoot - Only Love Would Know

CAPO: 6th Fret

[INTRO:] F G C

[VERSE 1:]
G F
Does the light of passion still burn bright
G C
Only love would know my imagination
Dm C G C
Tells me I'm a pent-up fool, in the deep end of the pool
G Am
Is the light of passion burning tonight
F G F C
Only love would know, only love would know
Dm C D C
She lives on the other side, you want to know the reason why
Dm C D C
She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says
F G C F G C
Everywhere you go__

[VERSE 2:]
G F
Is the light of passion burning bright
G C
Everywhere you go, only love would know
F Am
You think you've been wronged again
G C
Oh, what a way to treat a friend
Dm F G C F
She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realise
C G C F
She ain't the kind who would soon step aside
G C F
Pay any dues at the expense of her pride
G
Everywhere she goes
F C
Only love would know

[VERSE 3:]
G F
In the days gone by I came to believe
G C
Everything is trust, all the rest is dust
Dm C G C
Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here
G Am
Are the sounds of laughter ringing true
F G F C
Only love would know, only love would do
Dm F G C
She lives on another plane, away from the driving rain
F C G C
She says no, you say yes, and that's how it should be I guess
F G C F G C
Only love would know

[VERSE 4:]
G F
May the light of love surround you tonight
G C
Everywhere you go, only love would know
F Am
You thought you were wrong until
G C
You learned once and for all it's still
Dm F G C F
One more lesson on the way, or that is what it seemed to say
C G C F
She's not the kind who would soon step down
G C F
Not the kind you would try to walk around
G C
When only a thought would go very well
F G
You can tell by the touch
F C
Ah, but only love would know

[OUTRO:]
F C F
Passion burning bright
C F Am C
Tears of passion late at night
F Dm C
Is the light of passion burning bright
F G F C
Everywhere you go, only love would know
