verse 1 

Am                                   G 
The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast, 
Am                             G 
Burning and bedeviling not allowing any rest 
    C                               Em7 
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart 
  C                             D7 
A blasting blairing sound that tears my soul apart 


            G   C  D7  Am        G   Am  G   
If this is love        who needs it 

verse 2 

          Am                               G   
Theres a  tender tempting feeling that is growing in my mind 
 Am                      G 
Soothing and caressing a part of me thats blind 
   C                               Em7 
A warming worm thats mellowing and eating my resolve 
C                           D7 
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve 


            G   C   D7   Am     G  Am   G    
If this is love          I want it

verse 3 


Am                                    G 
Now a flaming flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance 
Am                          G 
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance 
    C                            Em7 
I'm raised by it's pure energy a borning me anew 
C                            D7 
Blinding but enlightening I know the fire is you 


           G    C  D7  Am      G  Am  G 
If this is love        I want it 
Am         G      Am   G 
If this is love I want it 
Am         G      Am    G    Am 
If this is what love is like 
G        Am 
Oh yes I need it  (FADE)
