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

This years love had better last
