I wanna show you how
A                           E
Gonna make you change your mind
                              C#m
There's an empty chair at my table
A                              E   A
There's an empty look in your eyes

       C#m
I just happen to be a man
         A
And you happen to be a woman
        E
And we happen to be together
         B
Try to stop this thing comin'

Chorus:
      C#m  B    E         B
Stand up, kick love into motion
C#m            B         E            A
Take a little love and shake it all around,

Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
C#m              B          E              A
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
C#m                  A                E
Down to the ground, baby c'mon (stand up)
              A
Stand up for love

I'm going to play your game
I want to play with fire
I want to breathe your air, yeah
Baby, going to take you there
If you lay your cards on the table, ooh yeah
I'll lay my love on the line
'Til you're mine

I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing coming

Chorus

                          E    B A
You couldn't get it much better
                     E  B A
You never had it so good
               E B A
Stand up together

And when you're ready to
                           C#m
You're gonna get what you should

E
Little by little
Like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Step by step
Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
  B
What a way to go

Chorus:
Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around,
Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and show me what you found
Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
My love is like a motor, runnin' all the time
Stand up, (stand up) kick love into motion
Step by step, go easy go slow
