[Intro]C[Verse 1]C
Five years ago
I wasn’t wise to know
The love my heart would
AmG
hold when I met you
C
And all my wins
Were suddenly eclipsed
When you arrived that
AmG
sunny day in June
[Pre-Chorus]FG
All my life racing to bluer
Am
skies and finish lines for gold
G
How was I to know?
[Chorus]F
That this is love,
CGAm
love, love, love, love
FC
My momma said one
G
day I’d understand
F
That this is love,
CGAm
love, love, love, love
FG
And it’s so much better
FC
than I’d ever planned
[Verse 2]C
Your smiling face
When you first said my name
A scene that I’ll rеplay
AmG
a million times
C
And every night
I watch you closе your eyes
The greatest place on earth
AmG
is by your side
[Pre-Chorus]FG
All this time racing to bluer
Am
skies and finish lines for gold
G
How were we to know
[Chorus]F
That this is love,
CGAm
love, love, love, love
FC
My momma said one
G
day I’d understand
F
That this is love,
CGAm
love, love, love, love
FG
And it’s so much better
FC
than I’d ever planned
