D                 Bm              G         A
The first time I saw you, you were walking out
D           Bm                  G     A
I wanted to ask you if you could stay
D               Bm                G          A
If you were on something with your friends around
D             Bm         G    A
There was nothing I could say

Chorus:
Em             G                     D        A
But I'm gonna keep you in love with me for awhile
Em         G                     D A
I'm gonna keep you in love with me

The next time I saw you, you were breakin' down
A million years had gone away
You looked right at me, and I just turned around
There was still nothin' I could say

Chorus:
But I'm gonna keep you in love with me for a while
I'm gonna keep you in love with me
I'm gonna keep you in love with me for a while
I'm gonna keep you in love with me

         D     Bm  G            A
I have dreams of anonymous castrati
         D  Bm G         A
Singing to us from the trees
         D     Bm         G               A
I have dreams of a first man and a first lady
         D  Bm G         A
Singing to us  from the sea

Chorus:
So I'm gonna keep you in love with me for a while
I'm gonna keep you in love with me
I'm gonna keep you in love with me for a while
I'm gonna keep you in love with me

       F#m      A  E            B
I have dreams of anonymous castrati
        F#m A E          B
Singing to us from the trees
       F#m      A         E               B
I have dreams of a first man and a first lady
        F#m  A E        B
Singing to us from the sea
