[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C F
You've been around for such a long time now;
Dm G
Oh maybe I could leave you but I don't know how.
C F
And why should I be lonely every night
Dm G
When I can be with you? Oh yes, you make it right.
F G
And I don't listen to the guys who say
C F
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away.
[Chorus]
C F Em
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
G Bb C
They've never heard of love.
[Verse 2]
C F
I get a feeling when I look at you,
Dm G
Wherever you go now, I wanna be there too.
C F
They say we're crazy but I just don't care,
Dm G
And if they keep on talkin', still they get nowhere.
F G
So I don't mind if they don't understand,
C F
When I look at you when you hold my hand.
[Chorus]
C F Em
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
G Bb C
They've never heard of love.
[Segue]
Am Bb F G
Why should it matter to us if they don't ap-prove?
Am Bb F G
We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose...

C F G G
Baby!
[Verse 3]
C F
There's no need for living in the past,
Dm G
Now I found good loving, gonna make it last.
C F
I tell the others, "Don't bother me,"
Dm G
'Cause when they look at you, they don't see what I see.
F G
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines;
C F
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.
[Chorus]
C F Em
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
G Bb C
They've never heard of love.
[Outro]
F G
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines;
C F
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.
C F Em
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
G Bb C
They've never heard of love.
