Intro: AmDmCFEAmGAmDFAm
The autumn leaves were falling
G
On these old cathedral walls
DmC
There were candles in the darkness
G
Singing in the choir
Am
And reading out the names
G
Of all the ones who've gone before
F
Well, I could tell that you were thinking
CG
About the meaning of it all
Chorus 1:
FG
And you said to me "Who will open up my eyes
FCG
To the wonder, and the glory, and the stars in the sky?"
FG
And you said to me "For this road I'm travelling on
EmFCGFGF
I need someone beside me forever. Who? Who?"
Chorus 2:
GCDmG
I said "It's me, and I'm ready to go
EAmF
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down
CG
And I want you to know, that this power will grow
AmF
Every day, every beat of my heart
Am
Forever, forever"
We went down to the river
G
And we found a small café
Dm
They said that over in the corner
CG
Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway
AmG
And here he made his story of the lovers in the war
F
And through it all they stayed together
CG
'Til the rain had to fall
Chorus 1:
FG
And you said to me, "Who will be the one apart
FCG
Who will teach me, with conviction, all the ways of the heart?"
FG
And you said to me, "On this journey of my life,
FCGFGF
I need someone to love me forever. Who? Who?"
Chorus 2:
GCDmG
And I said, listen "It's me, and I'm ready to go
EAmF
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down
CG
And I want you to know, that this power will grow
AmF
Every day, every beat of my heart
I love you, I love you"
CDmGEAm
"It's me
F
And I'll never let you down
CG
And I want you to know, that this power will grow
AmF
Every day, every beat of my heart
Forever, I love you, forever"
