Intro

[D] [FM7] [D] [G/D] [G2/D] [D5] [A/D]
[D] [C] [G/B] [Am7] [G6] [GM7]
[D] Now that we [G/D]love
[D] Now that the [G/D][G2/D]lonely [D5]nights [A/D]are [D]over
How do we [G]make [A]love [D][G]stay?[A]
[D] Now that we [G/D]know
[D] The fire can burn [G/D]bright [G2/D]or [D5][A/D]merely [Bm]smolder
How do we [G]keep it from [A]dying [D][C/D][D]away?[C/D]
[D] Elusive as [G/D]dreams
[D] Barely [G/D][G2/D]remembered [D5]in [A/D]the [D]morning
Love like a [G][A]phantom [D][G]flies.[A]
[D] But held in the [G/D]heart
[D] It pales like the [G/D][G2/D]empty [D5]smile [A][Bm]adorning
A statue with [G][A]sightless [D][D7sus]eyes.[D7]

Bridge

[GM7]Moments fleet, taste (so) [Bm]sweet within the [D]rapture
When [Esus]precious flesh is [E]greedily [A7sus]consumed[A7]
[G]But mystery's a [Bm]thing not easily [D]captured
And [Em7]once deceased, not [C9]easily [A7sus]exhumed.[A7]
[D] Now that we [G/D]love
[D] Now that the [G/D][G2/D]lonely [D5]nights [A/D]are [Bm]over
How do we [G]make [A]love [D]stay?[C/D]

Adlib

[D] [C] [G/B] [Am7] [G6] [GM7]
[D] [FM7] [D] [G/D] [G2/D] [D5] [A/D]
[Bm] [G] [A] [D] [D7sus] [D7]
(Repeat Bridge)
[D] Now that we [G/D]love
[D] Look at the [G/D][G2/D]moonless [D5]night [A/D]and [Bm]tell me
How do we [G]make [A]love [D]stay?[C/D]
