              Intro: C7M/9 C/B Bm5-/7 E7 AM7 C7/9- F7M G7/13 
 
  G     C           C/B    Am7  Cdim    Dm7 
Love is lovelier the second time around 
 G7     C7M    C7M/9      C        C/B     Bm5-/7  E7 
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground 
                   Am                C7                             F 
It's that second time you hear your love song sung 
          Am                  D7 
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth 
            G    D7     G7 
Is wasted on the young 
        G      C            C/B     Am7    Cdim     Dm7 
Love's more comf'ter'ble the second time you fall 
G7     C7M    C7M/9      C        C/B     Bm5-/7 E7 
Like a friendly home the second time you call 
 Am                C7                F                  A7       D7 
Who can say what lead us to this miracle we found 
Cdim       Dm7           G7        Fdim    Bm5-/7       E7  A7 
There are those who bet      love comes but once, and yet 
    Am7    D7             Dm7        Fdim   C Cdim Dm7 G7 
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
