E               G#m7
I would fly ten thousand miles
            F#m7
Through the pouring rain
         Am7
Just to see your face
E                      G#m7
I'd bare my soul to a total stranger
        F#m7
Just to say your name
        Am7
And I'm not ashamed

        G#m           C#m7
Just to love you into every morning
        F#m
I would change my name
      A
And run away

Chorus:
                   E
I won't do it for money
                  G#m
I won't do it for pride
                   A
I won't do it to please somebody else
      Am7
If it don't feel right
                    E
But I'll do it for you
                  G#m
And at least I'll try
             A
I don't need any other reason
       Am7
Than I feel it deep inside
                E   A
I'll do it for love
                E   F#m
I'll do it for love
                E
(What I do for love)

I would write your name across the sky
So the world could see
What you mean to me
I'd sing songs at the top of my voice
In an empty room
Just to dance with you

And to love you into every morning
I'll leave the world behind
And I'll slow down time

Chorus

E             F#m              G#m         D
What I do for love can take us anywhere at all
Anywhere, anywhere

Chorus

                E
(What I do for love)
                         A
Than I feel it deep inside
                E
(What I do for love)
                A
I'll do it, baby
                E
(What I do for love)
                       A
I won't do it for money
                E
(What I do for love)
                       A
I won't do it for pride
