Esus4             B
Can you find the time
    A
to let your lover love you
   G#m
He only wants to show you,
      A
The things he wants to learn to
     B
The hardest parts you'll get through
    C
And in the end you'll have your best friend

Chorus:
E
Love like this may come once
C#m        C
Baby it's fate
E
like a soul mate He's your penguin
C#m        C
Baby it's fate
B          Am
Baby it's fate not luck

Can you find the time to let your lover hold you?
He needs somebody to hold too
His love is strong and so true,
his arrow is aiming for you
And he's the one that you were born to love

Chorus

E
Let go, let go of time for you and I
Let go, let go of time for you and I
Let go, let go of time for you and I


Chorus:
Love like this is all I want, baby we're fate
Love like this may come once, baby we're fate
Like a soul mate, you're my penguin
Baby we're fate, baby it's fate, not luck
