Love   is all that  I  can give      to you;

Love is more than just a game for two.

Two in love can make it —

Take my heart, but please don't break it —

C    C/B     G       Dm7    C     (   C/B     Fdim(III)    G7    )
Love    was made for me and you.

The chords in parenthesis over the last line of the song are an optional turn-around to begin the song again -- which would probably be obvious the first time you played them, but it can be embarrassing to play in front of someone else and suddenly find yourself thinking "Where the heck am I gonna go with this now?" Been there. Done that. Don't recommend it.
