NOTES:
In the VERSEs, substitute the respective riffs instead of strumming the chords.
If you're 2 guitars, even better! One can play the riffs and the other the
chords. (For each chord, play the corresponding riff twice.) You can fret with
your first three fingers and use your little finger to play the G-F# bit on
the 2nd string.
In the CHORUSes, you could also pick the chords instead of strumming.
Try it out and see what you think. Enjoy! This is a great song.

VERSE:
Chords:
D xx0232
A x02220
If it's [D]love, that would really explain it
How I [A]feel like I'm covered in wool
If it's [D]love, then it's really exciting
My [A]diary's become very full
CHORUS:
Chords:
G 355433 E 022100
F#m 244222 C x35553
If it's [G]love does it [F#m]matter
If I'm [G]thin or I'm [F#m]fatter
If it's [E]love then it [C]feels like I've won the [G]pools
VERSE:
If it's love, then it needs some devotion
And I feel like I'm walking on air
If it's love, then I feel like I'm floating
Through my world without knowing who's there
CHORUS:
Chords:
G 355433 Eb x68886
F#m 244222 Bb 688766
E 022100 Dm x57765
C x35553 D x57775
If it's [G]love someone [F#m]slap me
Is this [G]me that's so [F#m]happy
If it's [E]love then I'm [C]laughing like I don't [G]care
If it's [C]love then my [Eb]teeth are clean [Bb]for a change [Dm] (oh!)
If it's [C]love then [Eb]that's why I'm [Bb]feeling so [D]strange
(play: VERSE riffs)
VERSE:
If it's love, then I need it forever
Like the beats that keep time in my heart
If it's love, then I fall like a feather
I'm an egg in the teeth of a shark
CHORUS:
If it's love, I'm inspired
I'm up late, I'm not tired
If it's love then my world is about to spark
If it's love then my teeth are clean for a change
If it's love then that's why I'm feeling so strange
OUTRO:
If it's [D]love, love love love love [A]love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
(end on D G - D G - D A D)
