TIPS:

Watch out when you see the following - the first 4 chords change quickly.

   G  Am G  F    C
wo-oh to be saaaaaaved

Watch out when you see the following - the F chord that precedes this gets just a half beat (up-beat of beat four).

C                                         Fmaj7      
I'm in love and I'm never gonna come back down
