[intro; see tab at end of file]

       G         Bm                D(4)/C   C
I knew love when it still meant forever
       G                     Bm              Am7   Dsus4 - D
When a feeling shared didn't always have to hurt
      G                 G7/B           C      C(9) - C
And a promise that was made would go unbroken
       G/D              D                D(4)/C   C   D(4)/C   C
I knew love when it was more than just a word

I knew a time when hope was all you needed
And if you cared you found a way to make things work
And life was what two people shared together
Oh, I knew love when it was more than just a word

       Bm   Bm      D(4)/C            C  -  C/B
I knew love    when I could still believe
    Am               G/B            C(9)   C(9)
It was the greatest power in the world
C   D      G          C
I   knew   loooo-ooo-oove
             G    D              D(4)/C   C   D(4)/C   C
When it was more    than just a word

I knew hearts when they made it all so easy
And sad goodbyes were seldom ever heard
And I wouldn't have to read this note that says you're leaving
I knew love when it was more than just a word

       Bm   Bm      D(4)/C            C  -  C/B
I knew love when I could still believe
    Am               G/B            C(9)   C(9)
It was the greatest power in the world
C   D      G          C
I   knew   loooo-ooo-oove
             G    D              D(4)/C   C
When it was more than just a word
C   D      G          C
I   knew   loooo-ooo-oove
             G    D              D(4)/C   C   D(4)/C   C   G.
When it was more    than just a word
