_ _ _ _ [Fm] I had the [C] ambition and I could write really great songs for her.
I wrote different songs for her than she could write herself.
[A] That song called Soul Deep, for [G] instance, which is_
She's [A] amazing in that song, but she never really wrote material like [A] that on her own.

_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] After the success in Sweden with [A] the first Roxette album,
even though it was a success, [E] a platinum album here,
we were a little bit disappointed [G] because the idea was to get abroad.
So we talked [E] to the EMI in Germany and they said,
we can't get you on the radio, it doesn't work for us here.
And they said, but maybe you should write a Christmas song.
Maybe it's easier for us to get you on the radio if you write a great Christmas song.
So I said, yes, well, I went home and I wrote this song called It Must Have Been Love,
Christmas for the Broken Hearted, in [D] brackets.
It's all about Christmas day.
I dream of you.
It was Maria [G] who was going to whisper that, make it sort of intimate.
[D] But that's not on the first version, is it?
No, we gave it up.
It was corny.
_ This was before autotunings, [G] it's really out of tune.
_ [A] This is a really bad demo, actually.
I hate this.
I wake up [D] lonely, a snare of [G] silence _ in [Em] the room.
So we recorded it and we released it as a Christmas single in [F] Sweden
and it became a smash here in Christmas 1987.
[C] You say a whisper _ on my pillow.
Big song for us and Germany [D] didn't want to release it because they hated it,
they didn't like [G] it.
EMI Electrola.
It must have [C] been love.
_ _ _ [F] _ So we basically forgot about it.
[Dm] I started writing the Look [Am] Sharp album [D] and forgot about It Must Have Been Love.
[A] _
_ _ _ Then we had all the success all over the world with [Db] Look Sharp
[Ebm] and The Look and Listen To Your Heart and [B] all those songs.
And then [Db] in 1989, probably, [Ebm] we had a lunch in [B] Los Angeles with EMI
and they [Db] had just got the rights to [Gb] a soundtrack to a movie called 3000,
or 3000 Dollars, I can't remember.
It was about a guy who hires this girl for a weekend for 3000 dollars.
They said that they have David Bowie on board, they had Go West,
they had Natalie Cole, they had, you know, whatever.
All those EMI artists and they wanted us to write a song for the soundtrack.
And I said, we can't do that, I can't do it, I don't have the time
because we're traveling all over this planet doing promotion for the Look Sharp album.
But I said, I have a Christmas song.
We [G] have a Christmas song and I can very easily alter the lyrics to that song.
_ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] So I got rid of Christmas Day, it became [F] Winter's Day.
And off we went and we sent it to [G] them.
And they loved it.
It must have been [C] a _ _ _ [F] _ rolling summer [Dm] night, _ [Am] _ [G] baby.
It must have been [C] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] the water flow.
Of course they changed the name from the movie to Pretty Woman.
[D] And I remember I was in this studio and I got a telephone call
and it was Gary Marshall who was the director of Pretty Woman.
And he said, hey, I just wanted to know that I love this song so much
[C] and I have given it a great place in the movie and there's no dialogue over it
[Dm] because it speaks for itself.
It just gives the whole movie [F] a certain character in that particular [C] scene.
I just want you to know that.
And I was like, okay, thank you very [Bb] much, boom.
And then the movie came out and [Dm] it became this blockbuster.
[C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] I mean, just what?
What happened here?
[Gm] And then of course it must have allowed me to create this [C] epic song that it is today.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _
