I [G] didn't [D] know [A] my fate.
[A] Playing
The [D/A] game of love, but never really [A] showing
The [G] thought that [D] love was [A] great.
[E] I was a young man and [D] sure to go [A] astray.
[E] You walked right into my life and [D] told me love would find a [F#m]
way [E]
To keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing. [D]

I was [A] standing,
[D/A] Looking in the face of one who [A] loved me,
[G] Feeling [D] so [A] ashamed.
[A] Hoping,
And [D/A] praying, Lord, that she could under[A]stand me,
But I [G] didn't [D] know her [A] name.
[E] She took my hand in hers and [D] told me I was [A] wrong.
[E] She said, you're gonna be all right boy, [D] oh just as [F#m] long [E]
As you keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A] growing, [D] keep on [A]
growing. [D]

[E] Our love is gonna keep on growing and [D] growing
and it's all because of [F#m] you. [E]
