[Spoken:]
Repeat: F#m E A C#m D Bm Until end
Love-
I gain nothing - I have love, I gain nothing - I have love...
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love
I gain nothing - I gain nothing
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast-
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes
always perseveres

[Spoken:]
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes,
what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child. When I abandoned my childhood, I put these ways behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
And now these two remain
