 Verse 1:

         C7             C7sus4             C     C7sus4
         You tell me you want me for your lover
              C          C7sus4         C      C7sus4
         You say that you want me undercover
          Am                 Em
         Don't you know it's not that way
            F                       Em
         I don't have time for the games you play
          F            Em
         Why can't you see
          F            G
         She's true to me
                F6  Eb6
         And I love her

 [repeat intro riff, 1X]

 Verse 2:

         You've got what it takes to find your own love
         You've got what it takes, why be alone, love
         Life's too short to fool around
         The love I need I've already found
         Why can't you see
         Set yourself free
         For your own love

 [repeat intro riff, 1X]

 [repeat intro riff, 2X]

 Verse 3:

         Everything you need you have inside you
         All the things you see are just to guide you
         When you're down and when you're blue
         Just think of the things your love can do
         Just close your eyes
         Then realize
         Love's beside you

 Coda:

                F6  Eb6
         And inside you
                   F6   Eb6
         And your known love
                 F6  Eb6
         Is your own love
