Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G C

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you lately, more than I should

G D

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the times when times were good

G C

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the way you looked at me

G D

When I was just a boy and you were all I’d need

Chorus

G C

And love takes miles, love takes years

G D

Love takes cryin’ through the beers

G C

Love takes wakin’ up at night

G D

And knowin’ everything’s alright

Verse 2

G C

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the mornin’s in the spring

G D

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the songs we used to sing

G C

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the way you held my hand

G D

When we didn’t have a dime or any sort of plan

Chorus

G C

And love takes miles, love takes years

G D

Love takes cryin’ through the beers

G C

Love takes wakin’ up at night

G D

And knowin’ everything’s alright

Bridge

Em C G

And I know the road gets long and the nights get cold

Em C D

And I know that gettin’ old is gettin’ old

Em C G

But I’ll keep on drivin’ with you by my side

Em C D

’Cause with you, my darlin’, I’ve got nothin’ left to hide

Verse 3

G C

So here’s to all the miles that are left to go

G D

Here’s to growin’ old and movin’ slow

G C

Here’s to every heartache, every single tear

G D

That brought me right here to you, my dear

Chorus

G C

‘Cause love takes miles, love takes years

G D

Love takes cryin’ through the beers

G C

Love takes wakin’ up at night

G D

And knowin’ everything’s alright

Outro

G C

Yeah, love takes miles, love takes years

G D

Love takes cryin’ through the beers

G C

Love takes wakin’ up at night

G D G

And knowin’ everything’s alright
