Only God (Could Stop Me Loving You) - Emerson Drive
Album: Emerson Drive
Written by:  R. J. "Mutt" Lange

Intro:  G  C (x2)

G                       C
We saw the moon in Colorado
Em    D             C
Made music in Tennessee
G                          C
We found the gold of El Dorado
        Em           D            C
It's so good, making love, you and me
C      D   G           C
These arms, they will never hold another
C      D   G         C                D
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause


Chorus:
                       C         Em  D
Only God could stop me loving you
                       C     Em
Only God could tell me not to
   Am            G/B
He sent you from Heaven
       Em                   C
Just to make my dreams come true
       Am         G/B
When he opened the door
     C                 D
That you came walking through
                       G          C
Only God could stop me loving you


Verse 2:
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so good
These lips, no other girl will ever kiss
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause


REPEAT CHORUS (last line chords change to):
                       C         G  D   C G D...
Only God could stop me loving you


D
There aint no girl in the whole wide world
          C            G
Who could take away my heart
          D
And there aint no man who could steal your hand
    C        G
And tear us apart
         D
But there is one God in Heaven above
    C              D               C   G   C
Who gave me love, strong enough to calm my heart

(Key change)
E                       D         F#m  E
Only God could stop me loving you
                       D     F#m  E
Only God could tell me not to
