And the night was filled with laughter
Em Am D
Echoing through painted smiles

Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
Em Am D
Of lips that ask so much of me
Em D
Still I wonder with every embrace
Em Em
Could I give and not break
D D
Should I care and forsake,
F7 G
All the comfort of,
F7 B7
A modern day version of love

I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
Never cared enough to be afraid

Take the hand, taste the kiss

And the comfort of

A modern day version of love
