[Verse]

D                    Bm     Amaj7                   C#dim7
 I've nothing much to offer,   there's nothing much to take
G                 D       C                    Bm    G A
I'm an absolute beginner,   but I'm absolutely sane
D                  Bm      Amaj7                   C#dim7
As long as we're together,    the rest may go to hell
G            D         C                     Bm
I absolutely love you,  but we're absolute beginners
G                    D     F#                    A
With eyes completely open,   but nervous all the same


[Chorus]

G  A   D                     G
If our love song could fly over mountains
                   Bm                   F#
Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films
G       A  D                   G
There's no reason to feel all the hard times
             Bm                          A
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true

[Verse]

D                    Bm     Amaj7                   C#dim7
Nothing much could happen, nothing we can't shake
G                 D       C                    Bm    G A
Though we're absolute beginners, with nothing much at stake
D                  Bm      Amaj7                   C#dim7
As long as you're still smiling, there's nothing more I need
G            D         C                     Bm
I absolutely love you, but we're absolute beginners
G                    D     F#                    A
But if my love is your love, we're certain to succeed


[Chorus]

G  A   D                     G
If our love song could fly over mountains
                Bm                       F#
Could sail over heartache, just like the films
G  A       D                      G
If there's reason to feel all the hard times
                Bm                       A
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true
