Intro: C C C D C G

     Em        D     C        Em     D      C        
I forgot that love existed, troubled in my mind.
G                    C      Em     D       C      
Heartache after heartache, worried all the time.
      C              G      
I forgot that love existed
 D              G      Em       
Then I saw the light
 C         G        D                 G    
Everyone around me make everything alright.

     Em    D       C                                             
Oho, Socrates and Plato 
      Em         D       C                                               
They praised it to the skies.
Em           D     C                                      
Anyone who's ever loved
 C             D     C                                                
Everyone who's ever tried.

 C                         G                               
If my heart could do the thinking
        D             G                                         
And my head begins to feel
         C             G                        
I would look upon the world anew
      D                G                         
And know what's truly real.

...Instrumental solo...

          Em        D     C               Em      D      C        
Well I forgot that love existed, and it strangled all my heart.
G                 C                 Em      D         C      
Then I turned a brand new leave and made a brand new start.

     C                         G                               
Oho, If my heart could do my thinking
        D             G                                         
And my head begins to feel
               C             G                        
Well, I would look upon the world anew
      D                G                         
And know what's truly real.
