[Verse 1]
C
Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighed two-hundred and thirty-five pounds
Dm G C
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
C
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck, look you in the eye and never back up
Dm G C
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love
[Chorus]
C F
You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Em Am
But like the wind that covers our land
F Dm G
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
C F
It can lift you up, never let you down
Em A7
Take your world and turn it all around
C G C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
[Verse 2]
C
Most men are like me they struggle and doubt, they trouble their minds day in and day out
Dm G C
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love
C
But when I see a mother's tenderness as she holds her young close to her breast
Dm G C
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed with a thing called love
[Chorus]
C F
You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Em Am
But like the wind that covers our land
F Dm G
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love
C F
It can lift you up, never let you down
Em A7
Take your world and turn it all around
C G C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
C G C
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that’s stronger than love
