Tom: G

   G                 
I know I’ve had you troubled
        D                    Em
And I know I’ve seared your mind
     C               G
But you know that I love you
      Em                  D
And that our love’s not blind
     G                     
I’m sure my dreams lie with you
          D          Em
But I’ve many more besides
    C           G
And if I can’t see them through 
     Em               D
Our love will slowly die


[Pre-Chorus]
         Em              C                 G
So if you doubt for the time that you’re spending
          Em              C            G
And if you doubt for the love in your heart
         D               C             Em C
Think of London and the girl you’re returning
         G          D                 G    D
And the days you defend will turn to gold


[Chorus]
                  G   
So love with your eyes
                D
Love with your mind
            Em
Love with your-
C             G   D
Dare I say forever
               G
Do it for yourself
               D 
Do it for the girl
           Em
Do it for you
 C            G   D
Dare I say forever


[Verse 2]
    G
And I’ve known pious women
          D               Em
Who have led such secret lives
   C              G
Shameless in the dark
     Em              D
So shameful in the light
     G
But you may not be pious 
    D             Em
And I may not be saved
     C                   G
But we could live quite happily
      Em       D
And quietly unfazed


[Pre-Chorus]
         Em              C                 G
So if you doubt for the time that you’re spending
          Em              C            G
And if you doubt for the love in your heart
         D               C             Em C
Think of London and the girl you’re returning
         G          D                 G    D
And the days you defend will turn to gold


[Chorus]
                  G   
So love with your eyes
                D
Love with your mind
            Em
Love with your-
C             G   D
Dare I say forever
               G
Do it for yourself
               D 
Do it for the girl
           Em
Do it for you
 C            G   D
Dare I say forever


[Bridge] 
        Em     C       G
I was dreaming of the Liffey
        Em     C        G
I was thinking of the Thames
                  Em          C         G
And now the East river flows by to the same end
     D                                          C D
Are we too sentimental to not look back and sta-a-are


[Chorus]
                  G   
So love with your eyes
                D
Love with your mind
            Em
Love with your-
C             G   D
Dare I say forever
               G
Do it for yourself
               D 
Do it for the girl
           Em
Do it for you
 C            G   D
Dare I say forever
