I [G]know I’ve had you troubled, and I [D]know I’ve seared your [Em]mind But [C]you know that I [G]love you, and [Em]that our love’s not [D]blind I’m [G]sure my dreams lie with you, But I’ve [D]many more [Em]besides And [C]if I can’t [G]see them through, our [Em]love will slowly [D]die

So if you [Em]doubt for the [C]time that you’re [G]spending And if you [Em]doubt for the [C]love in your [G]heart Think of [D]London and the [C]girl you’re [Em] [C]returning And the [G]days you [D]defend will turn to [G]gold [D]

So love with your [G]eyes, love with your [D]mind, love with [Em]your, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D] Do it for your[G]self, do it for the [D]girl, do it for [Em]you, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D]

And [G]I’ve known pious women, who have [D]led such secret [Em]lives [C]Shameless in the [G]dark, so [Em]shameful in the [D]light But [G]you may not be pious, and [D]I may not be [Em]saved But [C]we could live quite [G]happily, and [Em]quietly [D]unfazed

So if you [Em]doubt for the [C]time that you’re [G]spending And if you [Em]doubt for the [C]love in your [G]heart Think of [D]London and the [C]girl you’re [Em] [C]returning And the [G]days you [D]defend will turn to [G]gold [D]

So love with your [G]eyes, love with your [D]mind, love with [Em]your, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D] Do it for your[G]self, do it for the [D]girl, do it for [Em]you, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D]

I was [Em]dreaming [C]of the [G]Liffey, I was [Em]thinking [C]of the [G]Thames And now the East [Em]river flows [C]by to the [G]same end Are [D]we too sentimental to not look back and [C] [D]stare

So love with your [G]eyes, love with your [D]mind, love with [Em]your, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D] Do it for your[G]self, do it for the [D]girl, do it for [Em]you, [C]dare I say for[G]ever [D]
