This years love had better last,
C1       D        D1    C    
Heaven knows it's high time
C1          D       D1   G          Em
I've been waiting on my own too long
C      C1       D       D1     C
And when you hold me like you do
C1            D       D1     C
It feels so right, oh now
C1          D       D1      G
I start to forget How my heart gets torn,
          Em
When that hurt gets thrown
           A               C
Feeling like you can't go on

C1       D       D1    C
Turning circles time again,
C1              D      D1    C
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
C1       D           D1     G           Em
If you love me you got to know for sure,
C         C1       D        D1       C
Cause it takes something more this time,
C1                 D      D1    C
Than sweet sweet lies, oh yeah
C1         D    D1    G
Before I open up my arms and fall,
       Em
Losing all control,
       A             C
Every dream inside my soul
C
when you kiss me
          G
On that midnight street
          Em
Sweep me off my feet
         A               C
Singing ain't this life so sweet

C    C1     D        D1      C   C1 D D1  C C1 D D1  G  Em
This years love had better last
C    C1     D        D1     C    C1 D D1
This years love had better last
C           C1   D      D1    G                 G1       Em
Cause whose to worry If our hearts get torn, When that hurt gets thrown
               A              C
Don't you know this life goes on
                               G                     Em
won't you kiss me On that midnight street, Sweep me off my feet,
       A                    C
Singing ain't this life so sweet,
