[Verse 1]

         C
Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighed two-hundred and thirty-five pounds
               Dm                     G                    C
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
                   C
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck, look you in the eye and never back up
              Dm                           G               C
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love


[Chorus]

                           C                     F
You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
             Em                   Am
But like the wind that covers our land
                 F                     Dm                     G
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
                C                 F
It can lift you up, never let you down
          Em                     A7
Take your world and turn it all around
           C                        G                          C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love


[Verse 2]

                  C
Most men are like me they struggle and doubt, they trouble their minds day in and day out
              Dm               G                       C
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love
                 C
But when I see a mother's tenderness as she holds her young close to her breast
             Dm                        G                           C
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed with a thing called love


[Chorus]

                           C                     F
You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
             Em                   Am
But like the wind that covers our land
                 F                     Dm                     G
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
                C                 F
It can lift you up, never let you down
          Em                    A7
Take your world and turn it all around
           C                        G                          C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
           C                        G                          C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that’s stronger than love
