Come with me

Can't you hear 'em ring?

C                    C7/Bb                 Am7
We'll laugh and I'll tell you the story of love
                   Fm/Ab                 C
How it is, and the happiness in it, baby
                  C7/Bb
We'll combine our thoughts
                   Am7
And together we'll travel the roads
       Fm/Ab                  C
To the fountain of loveliness
              C7/Bb      Am7
I will never, ever, ever leave you
           Fm/Ab         C
Leave you alone to wonder
         C7/Bb                 Am7
As we go on, our love, it will grow (It will grow)
     Fm/Ab
Much stronger and stronger

Don't you wanna go
F      G             Am
Up the ladder to the roof

Where we can be closer to heaven
