Intro:

	Gmaj7

Verse 1:

	Gmaj7
	Stand beside me all the while no matter what goes wrong
	 C
	Separately we're weak, together we'll be strong

Chorus 1:

	   Gmaj7       C                Gmaj7                      C
	For true love never runs smooth,      but I don't care, 'cause
	Gmaj7         C
	True love is worth all the pain, the heartaches and tears
	 D7           G
	That we may share

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	When the world outside my arms is pulling us apart
	Press your lips to mine and hold me with your heart

Chorus 2:

	For true love never runs smooth, that's what they say, but
	True love is worth all the pain, the heartaches and tears
	We have to face
