[G][G][G][G]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
I've nothing much to [Am]offer[G]
There's nothing much to [Fdim7]take[E][F]
I'm an absolute be[C]ginner[Bb]
But I'm absolutely [Am]sane[Dm][G][C]
As long as we're to[Am]gether[G]
The rest can go [Fdim7]to hell[E][F]
I absolutely [C]love [Bb]you
But we're absolute be[Am]ginners[F]
With eyes com[C]pletely [E]open
But nervous all [G]the same

[Chorus 1]
If our [C]love song
Could fly [F]over mountains
Could laugh at the [Am]ocean
Just like the [E]films
[Dm]There's [G]no [C]reason
To feel all [F]the hard times
To lay down [Am]the hard lines
It's absolute[G]ly true

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C]

[Verse 2]
Nothing much could [Am]happen[G]
Nothing we [Fdim7]can't sha[E]ke[F]
Oh, we're absolute be[C]ginners[Bb]
With nothing much at [Am]stake[Dm][G][C]
As long as you're [Am]still [G]smiling
There's nothing more [Fdim7]I need[E][F]
I absolutely [C]love [Bb]you
But we're absolute be[Am]ginners[F]
But if my love is [C]your [E]love
We're certain to suc[G]ceed

[Chorus 2]
If our [C]love song
Could fly [F]over mountains
Could sail over [Am]heartaches
Just like the [E]films
[Dm]If t[G]here's r[C]eason
To feel all [F]the hard times
To lay down the [Am]hard lines
It's absolute[G]ly true

[Outro 1]
