C#G#D#A# I never understood before, I never knew what love was for, C#G#D# My heart was broke, my head was sore, what a feeling. C#G#D#A# Tied up in ancient history, I didn't believe in destiny, C#G#D# I look up you're standing next to me, what a feeling,
A#D#GmF#F What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine, G#D#A#D# Brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don't care, GmF#F I'm yours and suddenly you're mine, G#D#D#mA# Suddenly you're mine, and it's brighter than sunshine.
C#G#D#A# I never saw it happening, I'd given up and given in, C#G#D# I just couldn't take the hurt again, what a feeling. C#G#D#A#C# I didn't have the strength to fight, but suddenly you seemed so right, G# D# Me and you, what a feeling.
A#D#GmF#F What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine, G#D#A#D# Brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don't care, GmF#FG#D# I'm yours and suddenly you're mine, suddenly you're mine,
D#mG#D#mG#D# And it's brighter than the sun, it's brighter than the sun G#D#mG#A# It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine. C#G#D#A# Love will remain a mystery, but give me your hand and you will see, C#G#D# Your heart is keeping time with me.
A#D#GmF#F What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine, G#D#A#D# Brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don't care, GmF#FG#D# I'm yours and suddenly you're mine, suddenly you're mine,
A#D#GmF#F What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine, G#D#A#D# Brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don't care, GmF#FG#D# I'm yours and suddenly you're mine, suddenly you're mine, D#mA# And it's brighter than sunshine.
