[Capo 1st Fret]
Intro:([G]) ([Bm]) ([F#m]) ([G]) ([D]) ([A]) ([D])
Be- ([D]) lieving that ([A]) our love was ([D]) over,
We climbed to the ([A]) attic to ([D]) find.
A ([G]) few of my favorite pos- ([D]) sessions,
So ([E]) they wouldn't be left be- ([A]) hind.

But ([D]) there, in a ([A]) dust covered ([D]) shoe box,
A ([G]) bundle of old letters ([F#]) lie.
([G]) Wrapped in an old faded ([D]) ribbon,
Like a message, 'cross the ([A]) great di- ([D]) vide.

Those letters from ([A]) grandpa to ([D]) grandma,
Hand written with ([A]) love through the ([D]) years.
Read ([G]) just like the words from a ([D]) love song,
As we ([E]) read them together in ([A]) tears.

The ([D]) last one said ([A]) I've always ([D]) loved you,
And ([G]) don't ever feel sad or ([F#]) cry.
'Cause ([G]) if I cross over be- ([D]) fore you,
I'll be waiting 'cross the ([A]) great di- ([D]) vide.

([G]) Oh, ([Bm]) ([F#m]) love has a ([G]) life of it's ([D]) own, ([A]) ([D])
To ([G]) love, ([Bm]) love, ([F#m]) love has a ([G]) life of it's ([A]) own.

We ([D]) knew, when we ([A]) finished those ([D]) letters,
No ([G]) one would be saying good- ([F#]) bye
They ([G]) sent us a gift of for- ([D]) ever,
In those letters 'cross the ([A]) great di- ([D]) vide.

([G]) Oh, ([Bm]) ([F#m]) love has a ([G]) life of it's ([D]) own, ([A]) ([D])
([G]) Love, ([Bm]) love, ([F#m]) love is a ([G]) life,
Like those ([D]) letters 'cross the ([A]) great di- ([D]) vide.
