  			C            Am         F		 G 
His eyes the eyes, of a boy growing old, 
C           Am             F		G 
Deep down inside there’s a story untold, 
     C         C               F               Fm 
He's sad, then laughs awhile he looks at me and then he smiles 
C      C7    F      G              C    C7 
I’m in love, I’m in love with that boy. 

        F          G                                             C  C7 
Spoken: Till I met him I never thought that love could feel this way, 
F          G                                              
My nights were filled with lonely dreams, that grew worse with each  
        C  C7 F          G                                       
passing day. I used to walk the streets at night, with really - no  
         C  C7    F                               G              G7 
place to go   but loneliness is part of my past, a million tears ago. 

When I stand by his side my heart fills with pride, 
I look up at his face and I know, among giants he'll hold his place 
So proud so bold, so strong can I behold, 
C                 C7         F                         Fm 
Do you think that people are being fair cause they all believe (?)  
    C                C7              F      				 Fm 
But I don’t fear what people say our love will grow stronger with each  
            C    F      G    C    F      G   
passing day Ohhh I’m in love Ohhh I’m in love..... fade
