Intro

Verse 1

I was so lost and didn't know what to do with myself

I was my own worst enemy, I was lost and know I needed help

 Then you came along and saw the state I was in

You picked me up, when I was down and showed me how to live again

I say, "Thank you" for pulling me through. I'm a lucky man.

 I didn't know what life was, but now I understand

Chorus 1

 This is precious love, precious love, no I can't let it go.

 This is precious love and it's teaching me everything I need to know

 This is precious love, oh it's precious love, no I can't get enough

 Oh I'm down on my knees, begging you please, to gimme some more of that stuff

 Oh it's love love love love love, precious love.

 Oh it's love love love love love, precious love

Verse 2

Repeat chords from Verse 1):

Oh I got so distracted by people all around

Whispering sweet nothings, filling my head with doubt.

So I gave up, I didn't take long for me to see

The one thing that I was missing, was standing in front of me

I took you for granted, thought the grass was greener on the other side

I was wrong and it's took me so long for me to finally realise.

Chorus 2

 This is precious love, precious love, no I can't let it go.

 This is precious love and it's teaching me everything I need to know

 This is precious love, oh it's precious love, no I can't get enough

 Oh I'm down on my knees, begging you please, to gimme some more of that stuff

Bridge

I say a prayer and send it to you,

 that my heart will always be true.

 Life won't be the same without you

 So I say, "Thank you" Mm, I'm a lucky man

I didn't know what life was, but now I, now I understand

 understand, understand. This is

Chorus 3

love, love, love, love, precious love.

This is precious love and it's teaching me to be a better man.

 This is precious love, oh it's precious love, no I can't get enough

 Oh I'm down on my knees, it's there that I see you must be from heaven above

 Yeah, it's love love love love love, precious love.

 Oh it's love love love love love, precious love

 (Love love love love love, (gimme love) gimme love.

Love love love love love.) Precious love.
