A E7 F#7 I'd work for you, I'd slave for you, I'd be a beggar or a knave for you; D D Dm7 Dm6 A F#m D9 E7 And if that isn't love, it will have to do, until the real thing comes along. A E7 F#7 I'd gladly move the earth for you to prove my love, dear, and its worth for you; D D Dm7 Dm6 A D9 E7/13 E7 A G#7 If that isn't love, it will have to do, until the real thing comes along Bridge one: C# G#7 F# C# With all the words, dear, at my command I just can't make you understand C# G#7 C# E7 I'll always love you, darling, come what may, my heart is yours, what more can I say? A E7 F#7 I would cry for you, even sigh for you, tear the stars down from the sky for you D D Dm7 Dm6 F E7 D9 B7M A If that isn't love, it'll have to do, until the real thing comes along. A E7 F#7 I would walk on burning coals for you, I would drive the Chrysler, leave the Rolls for you D D Dm7 Dm6 F E7 D9 B7M A If that isn't love, it'll have to do, until the real thing comes along. A E7 F#7 I would try to hit high C for you, I'd even punch out Mister T for you, D D Dm7 Dm6 F E7 D9 B7M A If that isn't love, it'll have to do, uUntil the real thing comes along. Bridge two: C# G#7 F# G#7 There's not a thing that you can't ask of me go on, demand any task from me C# G#7 C# E7 You want the moon for a lavalier, all you've got to do is nibble on my ear. A E7 F#7 I would rob, steal, beg borrow and lie for you. Lay my little body down and die for you, D D Dm7 Dm6 A A7 D9 Dm5-/7 If that ain't love, if that ain't love, if that ain't love, it'll have to do E E7 E7/13- A Until the real thing comes along.
