VERSE:
D                    Bm     C#m                     Gdim
 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      C#m                   Gdim
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
 
MAIN LICK x2
 
VERSE:
Nothing much could happen, nothing we can't shake
Though we're absolute beginners, with nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling, there's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you, but we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love, we're certain to succeed
 
CHORUS:
If our love song could fly over mountains
Could sail over heartaches, just like the films
If there's reasons to feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true
