[Verse]  C  /  /  /   F  /   C (F) C     2X
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside, there was something goin' on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain,
ev'ry beat of my heart We got something goin' on

[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 Fm C /
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh

[Chorus] C F Dm Dm7
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
C F C /
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
Dm C
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Verse] C  /  /  /   F  /   C (F) C    2X
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin' sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear, this could be the year
For the real thing

[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 Fm C /
No more will you cry. Baby I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever we can
Ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh

[Chorus]
