Intro: C G Am F C 

  C                  
I know I’ve had you troubled 
      F                     Am 
And I know I’ve seared your mind 
    Am              C 
But you know that I love you 
             F          G 
And that our love’s not blind 

    C                      
I’m sure my dreams lie with you 
         F            Am 
But I’ve many more beside 
    Am         C 
And if I can’t see them through  
   F                G 
My love will slowly die 

           Am            F                 C 
But if you doubt for the time that you’re spending 
           Am            F            C 
And if you doubt for the love in your heart 
         G             F            C  F 
Think of London and the girl you’re turning 
        C          G                 C 
And the days you defend will slowly go 

                  C    
So love with your eyes 
               G 
Love with your mind 
              Am 
Love with your whole 
F          C 
Dare I say forever 
              C 
Do it for yourself 
              G  
Do it for the girl 
             Am 
Do it for you 
F             C 
Dare I say forever 

    C 
And I’ve known pious women 
         F               Am 
Who have led such secret lives 
  Am              C 
Shameless in the dark 
     F             G 
So shameful in the light 

    C 
But you may not be pious  
    F             Am 
And I may not be safe 
    Am                   C 
But we could live quite happily 
      F        G 
And quietly unfazed 

           Am            F                 C 
So if you doubt for the time that you’re spending 
           Am            F            C 
And if you doubt for the love in your heart 
         G             F            C  F 
Think of London and the girl you’re turning 
        C          G                 C 
And the days you defend will slowly go 

                  C    
So love with your eyes 
               G 
Love with your mind 
              Am 
Love with your whole 
F          C 
Dare I say forever 
              C 
Do it for yourself 
              G  
Do it for the girl 
             Am 
Do it for you 
F             C 
Dare I say forever 


C G Am F C (x2) 
  
        C                     
I was dreaming of the Liffey 
          F                 Am 
And I was thinking of the Thames 
     Am           C  
But now the East River  
      F              G 
Flows by to the same ends 

    C   
And as they all will pass us 
      F                Am 
They never stopped or cared 
     Am          C 
Are we too sentimental 
    F                  G 
To not look back and stare? 

           Am            F                 C 
But if you doubt for the time that you’re spending 
           Am            F            C 
And if you doubt for the love in your heart 
         G             F            C  F 
Think of London and the girl you’re turning 
        C          G                 C 
And the days you defend will slowly go 

                  C    
So love with your eyes 
               G 
Love with your mind 
              Am 
Love with your whole 
F          C 
Dare I say forever 
              C 
Do it for yourself 
              G  
Do it for the girl 
             Am 
Do it for you 
F             C 
Dare I say forever
