[Verse 1]
           C                    G
And so you come to me with your questions
     C                         G
On a subject on which I'm well versed
            C                          G     D    Em
Though I'm still as dumbfounded as the first time I found her,
     C                      G
It's either a blessing or a curse

           C                G
Although I cannot offer solutions
            C                 G
It would be reckless of me to try
         C                   G     D    Em
Cos it's mystified man, ever since time began
    C                            D
But hold on to your hat and I'll try

[Chorus]
        C               G
Love is like, a burning arrow
       C                   D
It can pierce, the coldest heart
       C              G
Love is warm, love is patient
        C        D                 G
And the craziest thing you'll ever start

Alright!

[Verse 2]
    C                 G
I recall when I was a young man,
          C                G
A day I'm never allowed to forget
            C                     G       D       Em
There was a girl that I met who I dreamed I would wed
   C                G
Forever our lives entwined

              C                             G
She said 'you gotta stop worrying 'bout the future'
                 C                  G
'You know you're much too young for that'
         C                      G      D      Em
'I wanna spread my wings like a willow in the spring'
  C                         G
I never saw her pretty face again

[Chorus]
        C             G
Love is life, love is yearning
            C                     D
It does not boast, but speaks the truth
        C                 G
Love is fair and knows no boundaries
        C        D                 G
And the craziest thing you'll ever do

Oh, yeah!

[Verse 3]
           C                   G
I wish you well in all of your travels
            C                           G
And may you find what you're searching for
      C                             G    D      Em
It'll hit you like thunder when you find one another
    C                         G
And stay in your heart forevermore

[Chorus]
         C               G
Love is like a four-leaf clover
         C              D
Hard to find and hold onto
        C              G
Love is blind, love is tender
        C        D                 G
And the craziest thing you'll ever do
