[Verse 1]
D                       G
First time I met you I knew then
      D                 Am
That afterwards there'd be
     D
No inbetween
                 G
We can sail the ocean blue
    D                  Am
Or just fly down, you know
      G       D
How I love you

[Chorus]
Am                C
  Nothing's gonna stop me now
Am                C
  Nothing's gonna stop me now
Am                C       G  D
  Nothing's gonna stop me n-o-w

[Verse 2]
D                    G
Wanna wake up early every day
D          Am
Just to be awake
             G       D
In the same world as you
D               G
No one ever hurt you
                Am
No more endless nights
     G                 D
Only blue light, it's blues
