[Verse 1]

          G        Em
I found a love for me

Darling, just dive right in,

Well, I found a girl beautiful

I never knew you were the 
                    D

[Pre-Chorus]

                      
Cause we were just kids 
        G
when we fell in love
            Em          
Not knowing what it was, 
           C                G  D
I will not give you up this ti-ime
             G             
Darling just kiss me slow, 
              Em
your heart is all I own
            C                     D
And in your eyes you're holding mine

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, 
     D              Em
with you between my arms
C                G     D          
Barefoot on the grass, listening 
       Em
to our favourite song
          C                G           
When you said you looked a mess, 
            D             Em
I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G 
But you heard it, darling you 
     D             G
look perfect tonight

stronger than anyone I know
              C                            
She shares my dreams, 

I hope that someday 
               D
I'll share her home
           G       Em
I found a love, to carry 

more than just my secrets
   C                     
To carry love, to carry 
            D
children of our own

[Pre-Chorus]

We are still kids, 

          G                   
but we're so in love, fighting 
 Em
against all odds
             C               G  D
I know we'll be alright this ti-ime
             G               
Darling just hold my hand, 
                 Em 
be my girl, I'll be your man
         C               D
I see my future in your eyes

[Chorus]

      Em   C              G     
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, 
     D              Em
with you between my arms
C                G     
Barefoot on the grass, 
D                Em
listening to our favourite song
        C                G   
When I saw you in that dress, 
            D
looking so beautiful
  Em       C           
I don't deserve this,
        G        D
