Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C G
Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
F C
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
C G
I was soft inside, there was something going on
F C
You do something to me that I can’t explain
F G
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
F G C
Every beat of my heart, we got something going on
Chorus
F G
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
F G
All this love we feel needs no conversation
F G C
We ride it together, ah-ah, making love with each other
F G
Ah-ah, islands in the stream
F G C
That is what we are, no one in between
F G
How can we be wrong? Sail away with me
F G C
To another world and we rely on each other, ah-ah
F G
From one lover to another, ah-ah
Verse 2
C G
I can’t live without you if the love was gone
F C
Everything is nothing if you got no one
C G
And you did walk in the night, slowly losing sight of the real thing
F C
But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
F G
Too deep in love and we got no way out
F G C
And the message is clear, this could be the year for the real thing
Chorus
F G
No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never
F G
We start and end as one, in love forever
F G C
We can ride it together, ah-ah, making love with each other
F G
Ah-ah, islands in the stream
F G C
That is what we are, no one in between
F G
How can we be wrong? Sail away with me
