D#m                C#     F#
I’ve gotta take a little time,
          B                   D#m
A little time to think things over.
D#m              C#        F#
I better read between the lines,
           B                D#m
In case I need it when I’m older.

D#m                C#        F#
Now, this mountain I must climb
       B               D#m
Feels like the world upon my shoulders.

D#m                C#    F#
Through the clouds I see love shine.
          B              D#m
It keeps me warm as life grows colder.

          B   G#m           C#           G#m
   In my life there’s been heartache and pain.
    B        G#m          C#    G#m
   I don’t know if I can face it again.
  B           G#m        C#        G#m
   Can’t stop now. I’ve traveled so far
        B      F#   G#m7 F# C#9sus4
   To change this lonely life.

Chorus:
   F#                    D#m   C#
     I want to know what love is.
   G#m          D#m  C#
     I want you to show me.
   F#                    D#m   C#
     I want to feel what love is.
   G#m          D#m   C#
     I know you can show me.

D#m                C#     F#
I’m gonna take a little time,
          B             D#m
A little time to look around me.

D#m       C#            F#
I’ve got nowhere left to hide.
          B                 D#m
It looks like love has finally found me.

       D#m  
   In my
