Then you came with me, chasing my rainbows, Honey, you know that I love you too, and that's the way love goes. /=slide up ---------------------------------0--| --7/9---7--9--10--9--------------0--| -----------------------2--4--6---1--| --7/9---7--9--9---9--------------2--| -----------------------0--2--4---2--| ---------------------------------0--| That's the way love goes, babe, that's the music God made, for all the world to see. It's never old, it gro--o-o--ows. Losing makes me sorry. You say, "Honey, don't worry. Don't you know I love you too?" and that's the way love goes.
