Why God Made Love Songs

         C
There aint nothing that can start a fire
    Am                                              G
Break down walls lift you higher
                          F
While you sing along
                           Dm                                 F
When you want to say it but your words are gone
                                         C
Thats why god made love songs

Now a boy meets girl on a cool summer night
                Am
When he sees her smile under football lights
        G
And forgets the game
                                           F
Yeah hes got to know her name
C
After awkward pauses and nervous talk
Am
Running out of words in the parking lot
G                                                             F
They get in his truck and he turns that radio up
          Dm                                        C
Song starts playing, Hearts start racing
               F                              G
No more waiting on that first kiss

                  C
There aint nothing that can start a fire
Am                                       G
Break down walls lift you higher
                  F
While you sing along
            C
Aint it something how it can take you back
         Am                                   G
To another time like you never left
                            F
And the feelings just as strong
                  Dm                                                  F
When you want to say it but your words are gone
                                    C
Thats why god made love songs

Well they met at a dance at the armory
          Am
In the summer of 1963
         G                                                   F
That local band played and they were swept away
        C
And fifty years have come and gone
 Am
Kids and grand kids almost grown
       G                                 F
Still every Friday night he digs out that 45
              Dm                     F
Without thinkin they start dancing
                G
And they fall in love again

                  C
There aint nothing that can start a fire
Am                                         G
Break down walls lift you higher
  F
While you sing along
    C
Ain’t it something how it can take you back
         Am                                   G
To another time like you never left
    F
And the feelings just as strong
  Dm                                                                  F
When you want to say it but your words are gone
                                   Am              C
That’s why god made love songs
                         Dm            F
God made love songs

While you sing along
           C
Aint it something how it can take you back
         Am                                   G
To another time like you never left

While you sing along


  Dm                                                                 F
When you want to say it but your words are gone
              Dm                                 F
And you sure dont want to get it wrong
                                   Am              C
Thats why god made love songs
                 Dm       F
