[Verse 1]
D                                      A
One hundred miles till I get home, and I can't wait to get you alone
    Bm                                  G
And hold you as close as I can get, you think you've been loved, you haven't been yet
D                                  A
Feel your hair against my skin, it takes me somewhere I've never been
      Bm                       G
Girl, I love you, you love me, we carved it on the willow tree

[Chorus]
    D     A          Bm           G
And love, love is a- live tonight
               D A             Bm      G
Love is alive, love is alive tonight

[Verse 2]
     D                                      A
Your mama likes me, your daddy does too, he likes this cross on my tattoo
    Bm                                G
Re- minds him of when he was younger, I'm starving, girl, with this hunger
D                          A
I can't ever satisfy, it's burning me up deep inside
    Bm                          G
And I can't get enough of this, I need a long forever kiss

[Chorus]

    D     A          Bm           G
And love, love is a- live tonight
               D A             Bm      G
Love is alive, love is alive tonight

[Bridge 1]
     F                               Em
Love tells the truth, it never lies, it never looks for alibis
                                  A
E|t's| smaller than a baby's touch, it's bigger than the both of us ---

[Bridge 2]
Bm                                    F#m/C#
Girl, you're deep inside of me, where I thought no one could ever be
D                           G
Can't wait a minute longer, can you feel it getting stronger

[Chorus]
    D     A          Bm           G
And love, love is a- live tonight
               D A             Bm      G
Love is alive, love is alive tonight

[Verse 2]
      D                                           A
Yeah, it's bigger than the whole, wide world, and it's in you, and in me, girl
Bm                                G
Love is black, and love is white, it's never wrong, it's always right
D                             A
It's a candle you can't hide, and it's a roller coaster ride
Bm                   A G
Yeah, love is alive, ooh
