C              Dm 
And I love you so 
Dm7               C  Cmaj7 
The people ask me how    
Am               Dm7 
How I've lived 'till now  
F                    G7 
 I tell them I don't know  

C                 Dm 
I guess they understand  
Dm7                 C 
How lonely life has been  
Am              Dm7 
But life began again  
F                   C 
The day you took my hand  


[Chorus]
  C                Dm7 
And yes I know how lonely life can be  
    G7 
The shadows follow me  
        G7/9               C   F C F 
And the night won't set me free                 
Cmaj7       Am      Dm7 
But I don't let the evening get me down  
G7              G7/9     C C6 C C6 
Now that you're around me                            


[Verse]
C               Dm 
And you love me too  
Dm7                        C Cmaj7 
Your thoughts are just for me   
    Am            Dm7 
You set my spirit free  
F                   G 
 I'm happy that you do   

C                    Dm 
 The book of life is brief  
Dm7                 C 
 And once a page is read  
Am              Dm7 
All but love is dead  
F               C 
 That is my belief  


[Chorus]
    C              Dm7 
And yes I know how loveless life can be  
    G7 
The shadows follow  me  
        G7/9               C   F C F 
And the night won't set me free                 
Cmaj7       Am       Dm7 
But I don't let the evening bring me down  
G7              G7/9   C C6 C C6 
Now that you're around me                                      


[Verse]
C              Dm 
And I love you so  
Dm7               C Cmaj7 
The people ask me how    
Am              Dm7 
How I live till now  
F                   G7   C 
I tell them I don't know
