People fall in love in mysterious ways
Em            A7

And I just wanna tell you I am

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart
       G  A
I'm thinking out loud
Riff1 Bm7 A   G  D/F# Em  A7 D
Maybe we found love right where we are

Verse:
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how

Pre-chorus:
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

Chorus:
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
