Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Does [D]the light of
[A]passion still burn [G]bright?
Only love would [A]know my ima[G]gina[D]tion
[G]Tells me I'm a pent-up fool fool
[A]in the deep end [D]of the pool
Is the light of [A]passion burnin' tonight?
[Bm]Only[G] love would know[A],
[G]only love would [D]know

[Verse 2]
[G]She lives on the other side,
you [A]wanna know the reas[D]on why
[G]She arrives at promises and [A]you
believe in [D]what she says
[G]Everywhere [A]you go[D][G][A]
[D]
Is the light of [A]passion
burnin' [G]bright?
Everywhere you [A]go,
only love would [D]know[Dsus4]

[Verse 3]
[G]You think, you've been
wronged again
[A]Oh what a way to treat [D]a friend
[G]She belongs to other eyes
and [A]surely you must [D]realize
[G]She ain't the kind
who would [A]soon step [D]aside
[G]Pay any dues at the expen[A]se
of her [D]pride[G]
Everywhere [A]she goes, [G]only love would know

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
In the [D]days gone [A]by I came to believe
[G]Everything is tru[A]st,
all the rest is [D]dust[Dsus4]
[G]Mother nature, mother dear,
[A]listen to us [D]over here
Are the sounds of [A]laughter ringing [Bm]true?
[G]Only love would [A]know,
[G]only love would [Dsus4]do[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]She lives on another plane [A]away
from the driv[D]in' rain
[G]She says no, you say yes
And [A]that's how it should [D]be I guess
[G]Only love would [A]know

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 6]
May the [D]light of [A]love surround you tonight
[G]Everywhere you[A] go,
only love would [D]know[Dsus4]

[Verse 7]
[G]You think, you were wrong until
You [A]learned once and for all [D]it's still
[G]One more lesson on the way
Or [A]that is what it [D]seemed to say

[Verse 8]
[G]She's not the kind who would
[A]soon step [D]down[G]
Not the kind you would [A]try
to walk [D]around[G]
When only a [Em]thought would
[A]go very [D]well
You can [G]tell by [Em]the touch
Ah but [A]only love would [D]know

[Verse 9]
[G]
Passion burnin' [D]bright
Tears [G]of passion late [D]at night
Is the [G]light of passion
burning [D]bright?
[G]Everywhere [A]you go, [G]only love would [D]know

[Outro 1]
[D]
