[Intro]
D G D A D


[Verse 1]
D                         Bm
If the sun would lose its light
       G                D
And we lived an endless night
A                                         G        A
And there was nothing left that you could feel
D                   Bm
That's how it would be
        G                  D
What my life would seem to me
     A                                D
If I didn't have your love to make it real

[Verse 2]
D                       Bm
If the stars were all unpinned
      G               D
And a cold and bitter wind
A                                G         A
Swallowed up the world without a trace
D                             Bm
Ah, well that's where I would be
        G                  D
What my life would seem to me
     A                                D
If I couldn't lift the veil and see your face


[Verse 3]
D                            Bm
And if no leaves were on the tree
G                   D
And no water in the sea
        A                           G       A
And the break of day had nothing to reveal
           D              Bm
That's how broken I would be
        G                  D        
What my life would seem to me
     A                                D
If I didn't have your love to make it real

[Verse 4]
D                         Bm
If the sun would lose its light
       G                   D        
And we lived in an endless night
A                                         G     A
And there was nothing left that you could feel
       D             Bm
If the sea were sand alone
        G               D
And the flowers made of stone
A                                   G    A
And no one that you hurt could ever heal
                D              Bm
Well that's how broken I would be
        G                  D
What my life would seem to me
     A                 A7             D
If I didn't have your love to make it real
