C                             C6        C
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
                             C6         C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
       F                                    C
I was soft inside there was something going on.

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on

C              Fmaj7
Tender love is blind
               F
It requires a dedication.
Fm
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
    C               C6 C
We ride it together uh huh
        C                   C6 C
Making love with each other uh huh.

Chorus:
C
Islands in the stream
C6        F
That is what we are
       Dm                  G
No one in between how can we be wrong?
       C           C6  F
Sail away with me to another world
          C               C6 C
And we rely on each other uh huh
          Dm              C6 C
From one lover to another uh huh.

I can't live without you if the love has gone
Everything is nothing when you got no one
And you walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever
We can ride it together, our heart
From one love to another, our heart

Chorus

Oh, baby, alright
Ghetto superstar, that is what you are
Coming from afar, reaching for the stars
Fly away with me to another place
And we rely on each other, our heart
From one lover to another, our heart
