    Take me back to the beginning 
A/C#      D                 D/F#   G
    When love was patient, love was kind
A/C#     D              D/F#    G
    Back to the place we first started
A/C#         D                   D/F#       G
    When we weren't to proud to change our minds

Interlude
D/F# D A A/C# D/F# G

Verse 2
A/C#     Bm      D          D/F#  G 
    And take me back when love was   selfless
A         Bm       D      D/F#  Em7
    When touch was passionate and   sweet
A           Bm           D C#      D/F#  G
    When we weren't just getting what we wanted 
A           Bm     D C#      D/F#  G
    But we gave ourselves so willingly

Chorus

And I love you, I pro--mise I always   will
     D5           A/C# D        D/F# G

          Bm7           D A Bm7 D           D/F# G    Em7  
    And I chose you, forev--er  I'll choose you still
            Bm7             A  Bm7  D Bm7 A    G  A  
   'Cause I love you, and I promise I al-ways will

Verse 3
A/C# Bm      D C#   D/F#  G 
    Take me back to  the    beginning 
A       Bm       D        D/F#  Em7
    When I would look you in the  eye
A    Bm                 D C#    D/F#  G 
    There was no such thing as a cold      shoulder
A           Bm      D C#    D/F#    Em7
    And we lived within your hands and mine

[Chorus]

Verse 4
A/C#   Bm      D          D/F# G 
     Before we burn down all      our bridges
A/C#       Bm      D       D/F# G 
     Let's look a while at what    we've built
A/C#           Bm        D      D/F#   G 
     And with thanks and asking for   forgiveness
D/F#     D A       D C#     F#m     G  
     And watch our love grow deeper still

[Chorus]
