Intro
G     C 
G     C


Em
This romeo is bleeding
Bm
but you can't see his blood
C 
it's nothing but some feeling
          G               D   
that this old dog kicked up



Em
it's been raining since you left me
        Bm   
now I'm drowning in the flood
C
you see I've always been a fighter
             G          D  
but without you I give up


Prechorus
Em
now I can't sing a love song
          D     
like the way it's meant to be
          C                 
well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
      D                C  D 
but baby, that's just me


Chorus Part 1
      G          Bm   
yeah, I will love you
   C    Em   D
baby -  Al--ways
    G               Bm           C 
and I'll be there forever and a day -
Em    D 
Al--ways

Chorus Part 2
G
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
          Bm
till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
           C                     
and I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
          D         C     Em
and I'll love you - Al---ways


Verse 2
           Em
now you're pictures that you left behind
         Bm        
are just memories of a different life
          C       
some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
         D                    
one that made you have to say goodbye


         Em              
what I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Bm   
to touch your lips, to hold you near
         C
when you say your prayers try to understand
     D                  C      D
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man


Prechorus 2
        Em
when he holds you close, when he pulls you near
        Bm       
when he says the words you've been needing to hear
          C      
I'll wish I was him with those words are mine
   D                   C      D
to say to you till the end of time

Repeat Chorus Part 1
A                 D
if you told me to cry for you
E
I could
A                 D
if you told me to die for you
E
I could      
Am                 c
take a look at my face
                         G
there's no price I won't pay
n/c
to say these words to you

Verse 3
            Em
well, there ain't no luck

in these loaded dice
    Bm
but baby if you give me just one more try
       C       
we can pack up our old dreams

and our old lives
      D                      C         D
we'll find a place where the sun still shines

Chorus
End
