Am              G                   F
It occured to me at once that love could be a great illusion,

            Am                  G        F
that makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday.

            Am                 G
And sends hearts of stone and steel, 
 
       F
to a place where they would feel like they,

       Dm                G            C
were falling, falling quickly in its way.



CHORUS:
 
            Dm               C         G
Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun,

                           Dm         C               G
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love?

                        Dm               C                   G
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
             
                               Dm                    C
When all this time you didn't know love, you didn't know love, 

            G                     Dm            C         
You didn't know love, You didn't know love...



SECOND VERSE:

      Am              G                     F
It occurred to me at once that love gets everything it asks for,

        Am                  G             F
Like a young girl picking flowers in the lawn.

          Am             G               F
She gets every kiss and tear, she gets every smile and fear, but still,

     Dm              G               C
She never finds the last of them is gone, oh

     Dm              G               C
She never finds the last of them is gone
