A E Bm E

[Verse 1]
F#m A           E
Oh, give me the truth to me
    Bm          E
And tell me of what I see
    A           F#m
A feeling there must be
   Bm     E
An answer for me
F#m  A           E
I    feel like I ache all over
Bm        E
Inside my heart is so, so
A          E
Troubled I feel like I could die
F#m                       Bm            E
Oh is this what love's supposed to be?

[Chorus]
    A                 E
But I, I'm not one to gamble
                     F#m
And I don't need to scramble
F#m
I didn't know that love would strike me
Bm          E         A
But this is what it's like
Bm      E           A
This is what it's like

[Break]
A E Bm E (x2)

[Verse 2]
F#m  A        E
On   Sunday I read somewhere
      Bm          E
That real love is heart and soul
          A    E F#m
Yeah, but only a master
      Bm     E
could understand that
F#m  A             E
I    left that old magazine
    Bm           E
and walked out into the green
    A        E                  F#m
of summer, I felt like I could cry
                   Bm
But in the grass I only sat

[Chorus]
     A                  E
Well I, I'm not one to gamble
                      F#m
And I don't need to scramble
F#m
I didn't know that love would strike me
Bm          E         A
But this is what it's like
Bm      E           A
This is what it's like
