G            E            C                D
   Hello my friend, it's morning, time to wake now
G               E      C                   D
  Your body and mine entwined will have to break now
G              E           C                D
   I want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me
G            E        C               D
   Oh, how I wish you could be deep inside me
G               E          C                 D
   Show me your eyes, your love, most tender feeling
G                    E        C              D
   And I'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing


CHORUS
            G
'cause it's you that I love
         F
And it's true that I love
     C              D
It's love not given lightly
      G
But I knew this was love
         F
And it's you that I love
         C                | D | % |
And it's more than what it might be


VERSE
G              E      C             D
   When we're alone I cannot always face you
G           E          C                D
   Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you
G               E       C                D
   That doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished
G              E       C                 D
   Give me the time to show our love's unfinished


CHORUS
            G
'cause it's you that I love
         F
And it's true that I love
     C              D
It's love not given lightly
      G
But I knew this was love
         F
And it's you that I love
         C                 D
And it's more than what it might be


VERSE
G              F          C              D
   I need your body, your mind and your emotions
G               F          C               D
   Shed me your tears till I drown in your oceans


CHORUS
            G
'cause it's you that I love
         F
And it's true that I love
     C              D
It's love not given lightly
      G
But I knew this was love
         F
And it's you that I love
         C                 D
And it's more than what it might be


MIDDLE 8
A                         C     | D | % |
 And every word I sing is true - ue


VERSE
G             E       C                 D
   What can I say the words destroy all meaning
G                  E      C               D
   There's only cliche to get across this feeling


CHORUS
          G
That it's you that I love
         F
And it's true that I love
     C              D
It's love not given lightly
      G
But I knew this was love
         F
And it's you that I love
         C                 D
And it's more than what it might be


MIDDLE 8
A                            C   | D | % |
 And every word I sing's for you - ou


CHORUS
            G
'cause it's you that I love
         F
And it's true that I love
     C              D
It's love not given lightly
      G
But I knew this was love
         F
And it's you that I love
         C                 D

VERSE
G            Em           C                 D
   This is a love song to John and Leisha's mother
G             Em      C              D
   This isn't easy, I may not write another


CHORUS
         G

And it's you that I love
         C                 D
And it's more than what it might be

         F
And it's you that I love
         C                 D
And it's more than what it might be
