Verse 

C                                    F      G    F G 
She said, It’s time to teach you the art of love 
C                                  F        G 
She said, we’re gonna reach to the heart of love 
F                 G       F                    G               C 
a place you never knew, a place that lives somewhere inside of you. 

F                         Dm    C      Bb C 
I know I’m on a journey I won’t forget 
F                        Dm       C     Bb    F     C 
I know I had it in me to give and yet I never could before 
  Bb           C            F 
I had to, if I wanted to be yours. 

 
C           F   Bb          F    Bb        F 
You made me see I’d have to be a brand new man 
Dm          Am  Bb               Gm      C 
he lives in me, so here in me is where I began. 

Verse 
F                               Dm    C     Bb C 
You showed the kind of lesson I can’t erase 
    F                             Dm     C 
You showed a way to get from that lonely place 
   Bb         F     C 
to where love comes alive 
    Bb               C            F 
and you’d be waiting there when I arrived. 


C             F 
The truth was clear, 
Bb           F         Bb    F 
love’s not a place you go to find 
Dm          Am 
it lives in here 
     Bb       F      Gm      C 
just leave it space, give it time 

Verse 
F                                  Dm    C     Bb C 
I learned that I could stumble and maybe fall 
F                             Dm      C 
I learned in being humble I’d have it all 
  Bb        F      C 
a brand new way to live, 
     Bb                  C                 F 
that love’s not what you have but what you give 
        Bb             C                F 
and the art of love is who you share it with.
