I have a lover, a lover like no other

Gives me hope when I can't believe that for the first time I feel love

Gave me the keys to His kingdom coming, gave me a cup of gold

But I left by the back door, and I threw away the key

And I threw away the key, yeah I threw away the key
C#m A
Yeah I threw away the key
E A E
For the first time I feel love

He spends his running after me

Gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold
He said "I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see"
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key...
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
