Intro  Am  G  Am  G

Verse 1

Am                                   G
The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast,
Am                             G
Burning and bedeviling not allowing any rest
    C                               Em7
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
  C                             D7
A blasting blairing sound that tears my soul apart

Chorus 1

            G   C  D7  Am        G   Am  G  
If this is love        who needs it

Verse 2

          Am                               G  
Theres a  tender tempting feeling that is growing in my mind
 Am                      G
Soothing and caressing a part of me thats blind
   C                               Em7
A warming worm thats mellowing and eating my resolve
C                           D7
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve

Verse 3


Am                                    G
Now a flaming flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Am                          G
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance
    C                            Em7
I'm raised by it's pure energy a borning me anew
C                            D7
Blinding but enlightening I know the fire is you

If this is love        I want it
Am         G      Am   G
If this is love I want it
Am         G      Am    G    Am
If this is what love is like
G        Am
Oh yes I need it  (FDE )
