[Verse 1]

C#m
This Romeo is bleeding
B
but you can't see his blood
A
It's nothing but some feelings
G#m B
that this old dog kicked up

C#m
It's been raining since you left me
B
now I'm drowning in the flood
A
You see I've always been a fighter
G#m A B
but without you I give up

[Pre-chorus 1]

C#m
Now I can't sing a love song
B
like the way it's meant to be
A
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
B A B
but baby, that's just me
[Chorus]

E B A
Yeah, I will love you, baby
C#m B
Al - ways
E B A
And I'll be there forever and a day
C#m B
Al - ways
E
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
B
till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
A
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
B
and I'll love you
A B C#m
Al - ways

[Verse 2]

C#m
Now your pictures that you left behind
B
are just memories of a different life
A
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
G#m B
One that made you have to say goodbye

C#m
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair,
B
to touch your lips, to hold you near
A
When you say your prayers try to understand
G#m A B
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

[Pre-chorus 2]

C#m
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
B
when he says the words you've been needing to hear
A
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
B A B
to say to you till the end of time

[Chorus]

E B A
And I will love you, baby
C#m B
Al - ways
E B A
And I'll be there forever and a day
C#m B
Al - ways

[Bridge]

D G
If you told me to cry for you
A
I could
D G A
If you told me to die for you
Bm
I would
 A G
Take a look at my face
A
There's no price I won't pay
A
to say these words to you

[Solo]

[Pre-chorus]

A
Well, there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
B
But baby if you give me just one more try
A
we can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
B
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

[Chorus]

E B A
Yeah, I will love you, baby
C#m B
Al - ways
E B A
And I'll be there forever and a day
C#m B
Al - ways
E
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
B

A
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
B
and I'll love you

Al - ways
