I'm an [D] absolute beginner,

the rest [G] can go to hell,
[F#]
[G]
I [D] absolutely love you,
[C]
I'm an [Bm] absolute beginner,
[G]
With eyes [D] completely open,
[F#]
we'll build [A] this on the side,
In [D] power of muscle, and power [G] over mountains,
And strength [Bm] over heartaches, just [F#] like the pillars,
[A]
[D] There's no reason to fear [G] all the hard times,
The way [Bm] I'm, is just [A] a guesser,

As long as [Bm] you're still smiling,
[A]
that's all [G] I really need,
[F#]
[G]
I [D] absolutely love you,
[C]
though we're absolute [Bm] beginners,
And
[G]
if my [D] love was your work,
[F#]
you'd start [A] in 2016,
In [D] power of muscle, and power [G] over mountains,
And strength [Bm] over heartaches, just [F#] like the pillars,
[A]
[D] There's no reason to fear [G] all the hard times,
The way [Bm] I'm, is just [A] a guesser,
