(spoken) 

People in the street used to complain

Said that love was for only fools

E

Never knew what I used to look for

F#                                      E

Didn’t even dream of paradise

                                                            F#

I’d spent my life within some murky pool

                            G (barre bottom)

Covered up with ice

                     A

I never even saw the world

G                                A

That was passing me bye

E                           F#

All I saw were distant shapes

E                   F#              E

That got lost before my eyes--------------

Couldn’t see far beyond the poolside

Couldn’t even dream of the outside

You spent one day beside my murky world

And melted away the ice

And then smiling with your eyes

You took my hand and mine

And I lost those distant shapes

As you stole my heart and blew my mind----------

CHORUS

E             F#m       E

Love

A                      B                       E          F#m  E

Love from the depths of the unknowing

A                       B                             E        F#m   E

Straight from a girl who’s love is showing

A                       B                       E           F#m     E

Peace from the depths of the unknowing

A                                   

Love brought me peace

Never knew just what dreams were made of

For until you came I never dreamed

And now I find I’m living in a dream

Whose only dream is me

I left a life of dark behind

When I stepped in your world

Now I know that I’m your man

And you have become – my girl---------

CHORUS

E             F#m       E

Love

A                      B                       E          F#m  E

Love from the depths of the unknowing

A                       B                             E        F#m   E

Straight from a girl who’s love is showing

A                       B                       E           F#m     E

Peace from the depths of the unknowing

A                                   

Love brought me peace

Now we’re sitting in a pool of sunlight

And I find that the sun always shines

I spend each day within your caring arms

I love to know that you’re mine

And with the passing of each day

We have found love and more

I have lost those distant shapes

‘Cause it’s only your shape – that I care for-----------
