The Love Song Jeff Bates
INTRO
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [C(add9)] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C(add9)]
[G] First time I [Bm7]felt it, think [C(add9)]I was five years old.[G/B]
I was [Am7]scared, had a nightmare, Momma was [Cmaj7]there for me to [D]hold.
[G] Daddy, he was [Bm7]different... he [C(add9)]never said it much,[G/B]
But I [Am7]heard him loud and clear when he brought [Cmaj7]home that ball and [D]glove.
[Em] Then it took [D/F#]on a brand new [C(add9)]meaning,[D/F#]
[Em] I wasn't [D/F#]just a boy no [C(add9)]more, when [G/B]she moved in next [Bb6]door.[D]
[G] Where you from? What's your [D/F#]name?
Wanna go to my [Em]game?
Got the keys to my [C]Dad's old [D]truck.
[G] Turn the radio [D/F#]off to remember the [Em]song,
We held [D]hands and there it [C]was,
[D/F#]Lo - [G]ve.[D/F#] [Em] [C] [D]
[G] Pages kept on [Bm7]turnin', there I [C(add9)]was with someone else.[G/B]
[Am7]First time in my lifetime, I wasn't [Cmaj7]livin' for my[D]self.
[G] I knew I wasn't [Bm7]fallin', any[C(add9)]where I'd fell before.[G/B]
[Am7]This place was different: it was [Cmaj7]deeper, it was m[D]ore.
[Em] Then it took [D/F#]on a brand new [C(add9)]meaning,[D/F#]
[Em] Yeah, it was [D/F#]strong and [C(add9)]it was true, knew [G/B]what I had to [Bb6]do.[D]
[G] Found a ring, hit my [D/F#]knees,
Couldn't talk, couldn't [Em]breathe,
My heart had me [C]all choked [D]up.
[G] Said "I do," as we [D/F#]cried, wedding bells,
[Em]Waved goodbye, the [D]whole church knew it [C]was
[D/F#]Lo - [G]ve.
[G]INS[D/F#]TRUMEN[Em]TAL[C] [D] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [D]
[Em] Then it took [D/F#]on a brand new [C(add9)]meaning,[D/F#]
[Em] When the [D/F#]doctor said "It's [C(add9)]time to watch your [G/B]miracle ar[Bb6]rive."[D]
[A] Thank the Lord, cut the [E/Ab]cord.
Take her home, [F#m]help her grow.
And com[E]plete the circle [D]of [Esus]lo - [A]ve.[E/Ab] [F#m]
[D]Lo [E]- [A]ve.[E/Ab] [F#m]
D E A E/Ab F#m D E (to fade)
That's the circle of lo - ve.
