Verse 1: [C] If the [G] world stops [D] turning [Em]
[C] Would you [G] be the same, [D] would you still remember my [Em] name?
[C] When the [G] stars start [D] falling [Em]
[C] Will you [G] hold me tight, [D] will you fight for love with all your [Em] might?

[C] Hold onto [G] the love that [D] feels so right
[C] Breath of a [G] memory, [D] light up the [Em] sky
[C] We can [G] conquer the world, [D] just you and I [Em]
Verse 2: [C] In the [G] midst of chaos, [D] in the calm of the [Em] storm
[C] Will you [G] stay with me, [D] keep our love warm?

[C] Will you [G] make everything [D] feel just right?
