Am              G                   F
It occured to me at once that love could be a great illusion,
            Am                  G        F
that makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday.
            Am                 G
And sends hearts of stone and steel, 
        F
to a place where they would feel like they,
       Dm                G            C
were falling, falling quickly in its way.

Chorus:
    Dm               C         G
Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun,
                           Dm         C               G
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love?
                        Dm               C                   G
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?             
                               Dm                    C
When all this time you didn't know love, you didn't know love, 
            G                     Dm            C         
You didn't know love, You didn't know love...

  Am              G                     F
It occurred to me at once that love gets everything it asks for,
        Am                  G             F
Like a young girl picking flowers in the lawn.
          Am             G               F
She gets every kiss and tear, she gets every smile and fear, but still,
     Dm              G               C
She never finds the last of them is gone, oh
     Dm              G               C
She never finds the last of them is gone

Chorus: 3x
           Dm               C         G
Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun,
                           Dm         C               G
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love?
                        Dm               C                   G
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?             
                               Dm                    C
When all this time you didn't know love, you didn't know love,
            G                     Dm            C         
You didn't know love, You didn't know love...
