Taking it slow

The union we propose is dangerous, I know...

[Chorus]

C D

Love is a game until it's played

G D/F# Em

And if it's lost it can't ever be saved

C D

We have heaven to win and hell to lose

So if you will, I will stop saying I won't

And start saying I do

[Interlude]

How will we find the courage to believe?

We will succeed
