[Em] That when our hearts are broke
[E] We thank for all the rules we broke
[F#] In the name of love we hope
[Em] This that we know
Forgotten all the time we spent
Ignoring all the consequences
[F#] And hiding [Em] from the evidence
Hoping things would change
[G#m]
[C#] But the yearning grew
Like the loneliness of a [D#] castaway
To [C#] be near to you
Was the only thing [A#m] in my heart [D#] it said
[G#] Keeping me [F#] alive
Till [C#] your rescue [G#m] came
[E] Honey, you mean [B] everything to me
[F#m] You ought to know by [E] now
Love means everything
[C#m] Oh, you ought to know [E] by now
Only love can bring [Em] happiness
What's the thinking, spending, fame?
[E] What's the losing, what's the gain?
[F#] All the guilt and all the pain
[Em] Seem to come our way
And baby, when our hearts are woke
We thank for all the rules we broke
[F#] In the name of love we spoke
[Em] Little did we know
[G#m] But [C#] the hope was there like a ray of sun
On a [A#m] cloudy [D#]
day
[C#] And it changed from impossibility
To [A#m] the [D#] only way
[C#] Love can [F#] come and go
[C#] And it's here [F#] to stay
[G#m] [E] Honey, you mean [B] everything to [A] me
You ought to know by [E] now
Love means everything
[C#m] Oh, you ought to know [E] by now
Only love can [B]
bring [F#m] happiness
You ought to know by [E] now
Love means everything
[C#m] Oh, you ought to know [E] by now
Only love can bring [F#m] happiness
You ought to know by [E] now
You [A] [E] [B]
