                                              E7
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself

So I won't lose, lose, lose him to nobody else.

Hey! Well, I don't care how long it's gonna take you now,
       B                D               A
But if it's a dream I don't want  (No I don't really want it )
B           D                 A
If it's a dream I don't want nobody to wake me.
                     E7                            A

                                                             E7
So I can give, give, give, give him every bit of my soul.
                                                   A
Yeah, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder
                                                        E7
So I can show, show, show him love with no control.
             A
