verse 1 - Part 1 
  E                 F#m 
I remember, when we met 
        E                 F#m 
We were drinkin’ whiskey, neat 
        E                  F#m 
And you looked too long at me 
             E            F#m 
But I didn’t turn away 

verse 1 - Part 2 
        E                F#m 
I saw a stranger in your eyes 
       E                F#m 
In the cold fluorescent light 
           E               F#m 
And you’ve got those dingo eyes 
               E          F#m 
And I couldn’t turn away. 

Pre-Chorus 
      A            F#m 
Oh, I try, on the dance floor 
      C#m      B 
Yeah I try, to show you... 

verse 2 
E                 F#m 
Burn your candles bright 
          E                F#m 
There’s a darkness in this night 
    E              F#m 
And maybe I’m just tired 
      E            F#m 
Of walking alone 

Pre-Chorus 
     A           F#m    
So I try, up on this stage 
       C#m     B 
Yeah I try, to hold you... 
  
       E         A 
What is love? Without you? 
       C#m       B 
What is love? Without you? 

verse 3 - Part 1 
           E            F#m 
Well, that silent river sings 
      E                F#m 
To me all her lonesome hymns  
      E             F#m 
And I take my seat against the bank 
F#m                      E 
Watching the stars, Jupiter and Mars.. 

verse 3 - Part 2 
             E             F#m 
And I didn’t mean to fall asleep 
           E                    F#m 
But at the river time does not keep 
      E                        F#m 
And I woke up in the front-row seat 
                                E 
The greatest show on Earth, for what it’s worth 
                   F#m 
An empty purse, is all you need 
                        E                            F#m 
A birth of bees, will I ever be, what you are to me, yeah 

Pre-Chorus 
   A           F#m 
Oh I try, in my prayers 
     C#m           B 
Oh I try, I try to hear you  


[Refrão]
 
       E         A 
What is love? Without you? 
        C#m      B 
What is love? Without you? 
                 E        A 
Tell me, what is love? Without you? 
        C#m      B 
What is love?
