A            Bm
And I love you so.

                   A   F#m
The people ask me how,

                    Bm   D
How I've lived till now.

                    E    Aadd9
I tell them I don't know.

                Bm
I guess they understand

                    A     F#m
How lonely life has been.

                 Bm   D
But life began again

                                A
The day you took my hand.
[Chorus 1]
A   Aaug                      Bm
And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.

  D                             A
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free.

   F#m                     Bm
But I don't let the evening get me down

E                   A
Now that you're around me.
[Adlib] A Bm E A Bm E A [Verse 2]
A               Bm
And you love me, too.

                          A    F#m
Your thoughts are just for me;

                    Bm   D
You set my spirit free.

                    E
I'm happy that you do.

                    Bm
The book of life is brief

                    A    F#m
And once a page is read,

                 Bm   D
All but love is dead.

             A   Asus4  A
That is my belief.
[Chorus 2]
A                       Bm

The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free.

    F#m               Bm
But I don't let the evening bring me down

Now that you're around me.
