                      THE LOVE SONG   Jeff Bates


G#                     C#
First time I felt it think I was five years old
       A#m                               G#             D# 
I was scared had a nightmare momma was there For me to hold
G#                          C# 
Daddy he was different he never said it much
       A#m       
But I heard him loud and clear 
                G#                  D# 
when he bought home that Ball and glove
Fm                          C#   
   It took on a brand new meaning
Fm                        C#        A#m               F#   F# G#
  I wasn't just a boy no more When she moved in next door
G#                                      
Where're you from What's your name wanna to go to my game
         C#                   G#
Got the keys to my dad's old truck
G#                              C#
Turn the radio on  she still remember the song
Fm                         C#     Fm           G#   
We held hands and there it was - love-ove-ove-ove
G#                          C#
Pages kept on turning there I was with someone else
           A#m                        G#           D# 
First time in my life time I wasn't living for my-self
G#                            C#
I knew I wasn't falling any-where I fell before
A#m                                  G#           D#   
    This place was different it was deeper it was more
Fm                          C# 
   It took on a brand new meaning
Fm                             C#  A#m               F#  F# G# 
Yea It was strong and it was true Knew what I had to do
G#
Found a ring  hit my knees couldn't talk Couldn't breathe 
     C#                     G#        
My heart had me all choked up
G#                      C#    
Said I do as we cried wedding bells wave goodbye
Fm                        C#  Fm           G#        
The whole church knew it was love-ove-ove-ove    to lead
Fm                          C#
   It took on a brand new meaning
Fm                           C#                  G#      F#   A# 
  When the doctor said it's time to watch your miracle arrive
A#
Thank the Lord cut the cord Take her home Help her grow
      Gm                    A#    F           A#    F           A# 
and complete the circle of love Love-ove-ove-ove   Love-ove-ove-ove
F                     A#            F
That's the circle of love-ove-ove-ove
