Intro  F Am Bb Gm C  F Am Bb Gm C


    F               Am
I’d sing you a song without a word

So it won’t end too soon

Anything I would do

    F                 Am
I’d build you a world made of the dream
Bb                  C    C7
That dances on your head
F              Am
Take a rainbow with colors bright
Bb                C    C7
To hang over your head
Dm7              F7
Anything I would do

Gm                                Dm   D
Fate’s been waiting for the right time
   Gm                         D
To put us in each other’s arms
    C                     Bm
But why should we sit and waste time
   Dm              C             Gm   C C7
To start right now   would do no harm


F              Am
Give me a sign and I will show you
    Bb              C
The magic of when I speak
F               Am
Open your heart let me come in

My love is yours to keep   Ohhhh
