Faith Hill - Love Is A Sweet Thing

intro – C – Am7 – A# – G = 2x’s

verse 1

C Am7
he was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer ,
A# G
and the same shopping cart he’d been pushing for years ,
C
a big smile on his face ,
Am7
like the first day of spring ,
A#
all the people looked the other way ,
G
but they heard him sing , and he sang ,

( chorus )

C – Am7 Em7 G
lo – – ve , love is a sweet thing ,

he sang love ,
C – Am7 Em7 G
lo – – ve is a sweet thing ,

verse 2

C
she shot out of texas ,
Am7
like a bullet from a gun ,
A# G
with a van full of hippies and a band on the run ,
C
she didn’t want to be famous ,
Am7
she just wanted to play ,
A# G
in old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage ,

and she sang ,

( chorus )

C – Am7 Em7 G
lo – – ve , love is a sweet thing ,

she sang love ,
C – Am7 Em7 G
lo – – ve is a sweet , sweet thing ,

( bridge )

F
it’s everywhere you look ,
Fm
if you look hard enough ,
C
its really not hard to see ,
F
yeah , once you put your arms around it ,
Fm
you can never get too much ,
G G7
love is a sweet , sweet thing ,

( lead chords – C – Am7 – Em7 – G = 2x’s )

in the eyes of a child ,

on the corner of a crowded street ,

its always growing wild ,

love is a sweet , sweet thing ,
