F#m            G#sus4        E
Take a look at unselected cases
             B              A
You'll find love has been wrecked
F#m           G#sus4
By both sides compromising
   E              B             A
Amounting to a disastrous effect

          C#m
You hear stories of old
     F#m
Of princes bold
      G#
With riches untold
 C#m
Happy souls
Casting it all aside
   F#m
To take some bride
             G#
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
    C#m
But not me
   F#m      E C#m
I couldn't do that
D#
Not me
     G#
I'm not like that

   C#m      A
I couldn't sacrifice
   F#m6     E       C#m
Anything at all to love.

I really like you
I'm attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
I'll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But I'm really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But Oh no!
You won't change me
You can try
For an eternity

Now I've got things to do
You have too
And I've got to be me
You've got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And let's savor a kiss
Like we'd savor a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Let's surrender
To this love divine

But we won't sacrifice
Anything at all to love
