  E             A   E                   A
  I have a lover, a lover like no other
          E                           A        E                     A
  She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul and she teach me how to sing
  C#m                           A
  Shows me colours when there's none to see
  C#m                  A                          E         A       E
  Gives me hope when I can't believe that for the first time I feel love

  I have a brother when I'm a brother in need
             E                  A              E                A
  I spend my whole time running, he spends his running after me
  C#m                A           C#m                A
  When I feel myself going down, I just call and he comes around
              E          A       E
  But for the first time, I feel love
  Hoo...

  But I left by the back door, and I threw away the key 
        E                 A        C#m                 A
  And I threw away the key, yeah I threw away the key
         C#m                 A   
  Yeah I threw away the key
          E         A       E
  For the first time I feel love
