F                   C                   F            C
A friend of mine called up, said, "I finally had some luck

F                C              G
Could I have a minute of your time?

F                C            F          C
I met a girl last night and try as I might

  F                C     G
I can't get her off my mind

    F              C                 F        C
She walked through the room and right then I knew

    F              C         G
I'd finally found somebody for me

       F             C            F            C
But to tell you the truth I don't know what to do

         F             C         G
Should I go ahead or wait and see?"
I said, [Chorus]
          F      C        Am     G
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back

      F     C       G
Let a light in your soul

         F    C     Am       G
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love

        F      C      G
than to never love at all

        F        C      G
Than to never love at all?"
[Verse 2]
    F            C            F         C
Now I'm the kind of guy who's normally quite shy

   F        C            G
On romance I don't know a thing

             F              C         F            C
But when she led me to the floor, I'd never danced before

F           C        G
Suddenly my feet had wings

  F         C             F      C
I know that she wants me, I want her too

    Fm              C             G
But I'm so confused I can't think straight

   F     C          F           C
I feel so alive but on the other side

          F      C                G
Should I go ahead or should I wait?
I said, [Chorus]
          F      C        Am     G
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back

      F     C       G
Let a light in your soul

         F    C     Am       G
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love

        F        C      G
Than to never love at all?"

         F    C     Am       G
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love

        F      C      G
than to never love at all?
[instrumental] F C F C F Am G x4 [Bridge]
   F             C          F              C
So when the music starts to flow from your hearts

         F            C     G
Like the comin' of an early spring

         F            C       F               C
When the river starts to flow between your soul to soul

       F        C        G
May no man ever come between

F      C               F         C
Die in her arms if she wants you to

   C         C            G
Be thankful for each passin' day

         F            C          F      C
When your eyes collide let your spirits fly

     F          C            G
And pray to God it's here to stay
I said, [Chorus 3]
          F      C        Am     G
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back

      F     C       G
Let a light in your soul

         F    C     Am       G
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love

        F      C      G
than to never love at all

        F        C      G
Than to never love at all?"

          F      C        Am     G
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back

      F     C       G
Let a light in your soul

         F    C     Am       G
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love

        F      C      G
than to never love at all

        F        C      G
Than to never love at all?"
