[Verse 1]
G                  Dsus4                     Cadd9   Cadd9
 We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
G            Dsus4              Cadd9  Cadd9
 This is our place, we make the rules
    G                          Dsus4            Cadd9        Cadd9
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
 G                  Dsus4         Cadd9  Cadd9
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?


[Chorus]
G        Dsus4     Cadd9 Cadd9
Can I go where you go?
G             Dsus4   Cadd9    Cadd9
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
    G          Dsus4            Cadd9 Cadd9
And ah, take me out, and take me home
       G  D/F# Em7 D  N.C.
You're my, my, my, my lover


G Dsus4 Cadd9 Cadd9


[Verse 2]
G                 Dsus4                Cadd9 Cadd9
 We could let our friends crash in the living room
G            Dsus4              Cadd9 Cadd9
 This is our place, we make the call
    G                          Dsus4                 Cadd9 Cadd9
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
     G                            Dsus4            Cadd9 Cadd9
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all


[Chorus]
G        Dsus4     Cadd9 Cadd9
Can I go where you go?
G             Dsus4   Cadd9    Cadd9
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
    G          Dsus4             Cadd9 Cadd9
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
       G  D/F# Em7 D  N.C.
You're my, my, my, my lover


[Bridge]
G                     D/F#
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
Em7                      Fmaj7
With every guitar string scar on my hand
C                    C/B                  Am D
I take this magnetic force-of-a-man to be my lover
C                            D/F#
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
Em7                          Fmaj7
All's well that ends well to end up with you
C                 C/B                Am D
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
G                        Fmaj7         C       C
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
             Am   Am                D     D
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover


[Chorus]
G        Dsus4     Cadd9 Cadd9
Can I go where you go?
G             Dsus4   Cadd9    Cadd9
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
    G          Dsus4             Cadd9 Cadd9
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
       G  D/F# Em7 D  Cadd9 Cadd9
You're my, my, my, my
           G  D/F# Em7 D Cadd9 Cadd9
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
                G  D/F# Em7 D  N.C.
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover





How to play "Lover" on guitar

- Chord Progression: This song makes use of G, Dsus4, Cadd9, D/F#, Em7, and occasionally
  Fmaj7 and other variations. These chords contribute to the soft, romantic atmosphere of
  the song.

- Intro & Verse Strumming: Begin with the chords G, Dsus4, Cadd9. Strum these chords
  gently, using a pattern like down-down-up-up-down-up. This will help set the tender,
  loving mood of the song right from the start.

  C, C/B, and Am. Pay special attention to the emotional narrative here, as the lyrics
  get more personal and reflective. This part might require more delicate fingerpicking
  or a softer touch with strumming to match the lyrical intimacy.

  - Not maintaining the gentle dynamics, which can overpower the romantic essence of the
    song.

  the song.
