I've told you once, now you should know

The reason that I'm coming down.

Just need to bring it around.

REPEAT CHORDS
And I told you once that it was rough.
I looked on you as my friend,
Because that did not seem to be good enough,
And now it's time to begin.
We've got a beautiful thing going,
I hope that's the way it will stay.
We've got a beautiful thing going,
Nothing can stand in our way.
