[Intro]

| E      | A     |
| C#m B  | A     | A     |


[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]

| E      | B      | F#m    | C#m B   |
| E      | B/F#   | A      | B   A B


[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
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  E
Al - ways
