 C#                   Eb                               C# 
This years love had better last
               Eb                             C# 
Heaven knows it's high time
                             Eb                         Ab                       Fm 
And I've been waiting on my own too long
 C#                       Eb                               C# 
But when you hold me like you do
                         Eb 
It feels so right
 C#                   Eb 
I start to forget
               Ab 
How my heart gets torn
                     Fm 
When that hurt gets thrown
                 Bb                                 C# 
Feeling like you can't go on
 C#             Eb                                   C# 
Turning circles when time again
                               Eb 
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
 C#           Eb                           Ab                         Fm 
If you love me got to know for sure
 C#                       Eb                                     C# 
Cos it takes something more this time
                                   Eb 
Than sweet sweet lies
 C#               Eb                   Ab 
Before I open up my arms and fall
               Fm 
Losing all control
             Bb                             C# 
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
                 Ab 
On that midnight street
                   Fm 
Sweep me off my feet
                 Bb                                   C# 
Singing ain't this life so sweet
 C#                   Eb                             C#       Eb   C#   Eb   Ab   Fm 
This years love had better last
 C#                   Eb                             C#         Eb 
This years love had better last
 C#                             Eb 
'Cause who's to worry
               Ab 
If our hearts get torn
                     Fm 
When that hurt gets thrown
                     Bb                                     C# 
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
                 Ab 
On that midnight street
                   Fm 
Sweep me off my feet
                 Bb                                   C# 
Singing ain't this life so sweet
 C#                   Eb                             C#         Eb 
This years love had better last

This years love had better last

This years love had better last
 C#                                                   Ab 
This years love had better last
