[Intro]
      A        Aaug         F#m/A        Aaug
  Our life, together, is so precious, together,
         A   E7         A     E7
we have grown, we have grown.
                A             Aaug     F#m/A
  Although our love, is still special,
 A7                          D/A      Dm/A     A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere alone.


[Verse 1]
        A
  It's been too long since we took the time,
    Aaug                                  Bm        E
No one's to blame.  I know time flies so quickly.
Bm            E
  But, when I see you darlin',
C#m             F#                  Bm                E
  It's like we both are fallin' in love, again, it'll be,
                     A    Aaug       A      Aaug
  just like starting over.  Starting over.


[Verse 2]
         A
  Every day we used to make it, love.
 Aaug                                 Bm       E
Why can't we be makin' love, nice and easy?
Bm              E
  It's time to spread our wings and,
C#m               F#           Bm                 E
fly.  Don't let another day go by, my love, it'll be,
                     A   Aaug        A     G
  just like starting over.  Starting over.


[Bridge]
N.C.
                        Am
  Why don't we take off alone,
D7                         G
  take a trip somewhere far, far away.
Em                        Am
  We'll be together all alone, again,
D7                          G            E          D/F#   E/G#
  like we used to be in the early days.  Well, well dar - lin'


[Verse 3]
        A
  It's been too long since we took the time,
    Aaug                              Bm        E
No one's to blame.  I know time flies so quickly.
Bm            E
  But, when I see you darlin'
C#m            F#                  Bm                 E
  It's like we both are falling in love, again, it'll be
                     A   Aaug        A      Aaug
  just like starting over.  Starting over.


[Outro]
       A       Aaug          F#m/A      Aaug
  Our life, together, is so precious, together,
         A   E7        A      E7
we have grown, we have grown.
                A               Aaug    F#m/A
  Although our love, is still special,
 A7                         D/A       Dm/A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere...
