You don't know how lovely you are

                    
And so on..............


CHORUS:

Bb                       F                              Fsus2
Nobody said it was easy, Oh It's such a shame for us to part

Bb                       F           Fsus2                  C    C (X30100)   C/

Oh take me back to the start
