(C) Barefoot on the (G) grass
(D) Listening to our (Em) favourite song

Well I found a (G) woman
Stronger than (Em) anyone I know
She shares my (C) dreams
I hope that someday I’ll share her (D) home
I found a (G) love
To carry (Em) more than just my secrets
To carry (C) love
To carry children of our (D) own

Fighting (Em) against all odds
