Intro: F  G  C 

verse 1: 
                  G                  F 
Does the light of passion still burn bright  
                G            C 
Only love would know my imagination  
Dm             C             G               C 
Tells me I'm a pent-up fool, in the deep end of the pool 
                G                 Am 
Is the light of passion burning tonight  
F               G     F               C 
Only love would know, only love would know  
Dm               C               D                C 
She lives on the other side, you want to know the reason why  
Dm             C            D              C 
She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says  
F              G  C     F   G   C 
Everywhere you go__ 


verse 2: 
                G               F 
Is the light of passion burning bright  
               G                   C 
Everywhere you go, only love would know  
    F                 Am 
You think you've been wronged again  
    G             C 
Oh, what a way to treat a friend 
Dm             F              G               C         F 
She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realise  
              C              G          C      F 
She ain't the kind who would soon step aside  
                      G            C      F 
Pay any dues at the expense of her pride  
               G      
Everywhere she goes 
F               C 
Only love would know 


verse 3: 
                 G              F 
In the days gone by I came to believe 
              G                      C 
Everything is trust, all the rest is dust  
Dm             C            G                 C 
Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here  
                  G                Am 
Are the sounds of laughter ringing true  
F               G     F               C 
Only love would know, only love would do  
Dm            F              G            C 
She lives on another plane, away from the driving rain 
F            C                G                    C 
She says no, you say yes, and that's how it should be I guess  
F               G  C     F   G   C 
Only love would know 


verse 4: 
                 G                   F 
May the light of love surround you tonight  
               G                   C 
Everywhere you go, only love would know  
F                    Am 
You thought you were wrong until  
    G                    C 
You learned once and for all it's still  
Dm              F              G               C               F 
One more lesson on the way, or that is what it seemed to say  
              C              G         C      F 
She's not the kind who would soon step down  
                       G            C      F 
Not the kind you would try to walk around  
            G                     C  
When only a thought would go very well  
        F           G      
You can tell by the touch  
        F               C 
Ah, but only love would know 


OUTRO: 
F       C       F 
Passion burning bright  
C        F       Am      C 
Tears of passion late at night  
                F       Dm      C 
Is the light of passion burning bright  
F              G   F               C 
Everywhere you go, only love would know
