Esus2  A6/9         Esus2     A6/9
Cry,      you would cry in my arms

Esus2  A6/9            F#m7(addB)    B7sus4
Far,      far from the world and its harms

                E   E/G#     E7/G#     A
That kind of love begun is never done

E/B     A/C#    B7/D#    E
I'll be here at close of day

A/C#                Bsus4         A(addB)
When you bring your heart home to stay


          E    B        A
I will be here when you call

          E    B        A
I will be here standing tall  (or sometimes - all in all)

          E    B          A
I will be here, you won't fall

                              B             E
Don't you know that love will save us after all?

Come - when cold winter blows
Come - when sweet summer glows
And all your wandering years will disappear
There are places inside the heart
We'll touch like we've done from the start
(refrain)


C#m7     B    A     E   A   B
Almighty time rolls on,

C#m7               B    A
Let's not spend it all alone

B      E     C#m7  B        A(addB)
We are here, then    we're gone
(refrain)
