[INTRO:] F G C [VERSE 1:]
                  G                  F
Does the light of passion still burn bright 

                G            C
Only love would know my imagination 

Dm             C             G               C
Tells me I'm a pent-up fool, in the deep end of the pool

                G                 Am
Is the light of passion burning tonight 

F               G     F               C
Only love would know, only love would know 

Dm               C               D                C
She lives on the other side, you want to know the reason why 

Dm             C            D              C
She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says 

F              G  C     F   G   C
Everywhere you go__
[VERSE 2:]
                G               F
Is the light of passion burning bright 

               G                   C
Everywhere you go, only love would know 

    F                 Am
You think you've been wronged again 

    G             C
Oh, what a way to treat a friend

Dm             F              G               C         F
She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realise 

              C              G          C      F
She ain't the kind who would soon step aside 

                      G            C      F
Pay any dues at the expense of her pride 

               G     
Everywhere she goes

F               C
Only love would know
[VERSE 3:]
                 G              F
In the days gone by I came to believe

              G                      C
Everything is trust, all the rest is dust 

Dm             C            G                 C
Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here 

                  G                Am
Are the sounds of laughter ringing true 

F               G     F               C
Only love would know, only love would do 

Dm            F              G            C
She lives on another plane, away from the driving rain

F            C                G                    C
She says no, you say yes, and that's how it should be I guess 

F               G  C     F   G   C
Only love would know
[VERSE 4:]
                 G                   F
May the light of love surround you tonight 

               G                   C
Everywhere you go, only love would know 

F                    Am
You thought you were wrong until 

    G                    C
You learned once and for all it's still 

Dm              F              G               C               F
One more lesson on the way, or that is what it seemed to say 

              C              G         C      F
She's not the kind who would soon step down 

                       G            C      F
Not the kind you would try to walk around 

            G                     C 
When only a thought would go very well 

        F           G     
You can tell by the touch 

        F               C
Ah, but only love would know
[OUTRO:]
F       C       F
Passion burning bright 

C        F       Am      C
Tears of passion late at night 

                F       Dm      C
Is the light of passion burning bright 

F              G   F               C
Everywhere you go, only love would know
