Intro: D G A7
 
D Em A7
I see the sunlight in her hair
D
I feel the warm smile that she wears
G A7
She has no recipe for love
D
And I just can't get enough
Em A7
From the distance of my mind
D
The clock that's ringing says it's time
G A7
To wake up to my destiny
D (Em F#m G)
It's time to face reality
A7 D C
It's only love, that I feel inside
G D
But I'll get by somehow
F
It's only love
C Gm C
I never woke up from my dream girl
Gm D
I know there's something else
A7/4 A7
For me girl, me girl
D Em A7
I tell myself that it's not real
D
There's nothing left for me to feel
G A7
I'll just be going on my way
D G A7 (Em F#m G)
Tomorrow brings another day
A7 D C
It's only love, that I feel inside
G
But I've got to be strong
Em F#m G
Keep my mind hangin' on
A7 D C
It's only love, but I know I'll get by
G
I'll take my heart and my pride
Em F#m G
And just throw then aside
A7 D C G (Em F#m G)
It's only love
A7 D C G (Em F#m G)
It's only love
A7 D C G (Em F#m G A7 D)
It's only love...
