Baby when I met you there was peace unknown

I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
      F                                      C     F C
I was soft inside, there was something goin' on
C
You do something to me that I can't explain
C                                          F
  Hold me closer and I feel no pain, ev'ry beat of my heart
                        C
We got something goin' on

[Pre-Chorus]
               Fmaj7
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication

  All this love we feel needs no conversation

        C
Makin' love with each other, uh huh

[Chorus]
           C                        F
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
          Dm
No one in between, how can we be wrong
          C             F
Sail away with me to another world
         C
And we rely on each other, uh huh
          Dm                  C
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Verse]
G#
I can't live without you if the love was gone
G#
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one

And you did walk in the night
                           G#         C# G#
Slowly losin' sight of the real thing
    G#
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
G#
  Too deep in love and we got no way out
        C#
And the message is clear, this could be the year
        G#
For the real thing

[Pre-Chorus]
                 C#maj7
No more will you cry. Baby I will hurt you never

We start and end as one in love forever we can

Makin' love with each other, uh huh

No one in between, how can we be wrong
