Verse 1:

      G7
      You to me
                    C
      Are sweet as roses in the morning
          G7
      And you to me
                    C             F
      Are soft as summer [unintelligible] in love we share
            Em
      That something rare

Chorus:

           Dm
      The sidewalks in the street
           G7                               C
      The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
                Am/E
      Begins to crumble
           F              G7
      But love will never die
                      C               Am/E
      Because we'll see the mountains tumble
         F              G7
      Before we say goodbye

                  F
      My love and I will be
          E        G7/D
      In love eternally
       G7
      That's the way
                       C
      Mmm , that's the way it's meant to be

Verse 2:

      All around
      I see the purple shades of evening
      And on the ground
      The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
      So tenderly

[repeat chorus]

Instrumental break:

      (acoustic guitar solo over verse chords)

[repeat chorus]

Coda

           G7
      And that's the way
                  C
      That's the way it's meant to be

      That's the way
      (that's the way it's meant to be)
      Whoa, that's the way
      That's the way it's meant to be   [fade]
