[Verse 1]
D                    Bm     Amaj7                      Edim7
 I've nothing much to offer,   there's nothing much to take
G                 D       C                    Bm    Em A
I'm an absolute beginner,   but I'm absolutely sane
D                  Bm      Amaj7                 Edim7
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]
Em A   D                        G
If our love song could fly over mountain
                   Bm                    F#
Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films
Em      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 2]
D                    Bm     Amaj7           Edim7
Nothing much could happen, nothing we can't shake
G                 D       C                    Bm    Em A
Though we're absolute beginners, with nothing much at stake
D                  Bm      Amaj7                        Edim7
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]
Em A   D                        G
If our love song could fly over mountains
                   Bm                    F#
Could sail over heartaches, just like the films
Em      A  D                      G
If there's reasons to feel all the hard times
                Bm                          A
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true
