Em                        Bm 
Waited a hundred years to see your face, 
        EM                  Bm 
And I would wait a hundred more 
     Am             
If only to be near you, 
     G 
To have you and to hear you. 
  F 
Isn't that what time is for? 
     Em                                 Bm   
I sailed a thousand ships in search of you. 
   Em                 Bm 
Traveled to distant land. 
   Am         
I dove for sunken gold. 
    G 
I took what I could hold, 
      F 
But you're still the greatest treasure I've held in my hands.

    C   E          Am        F 
My love, the reason I survive, 
  C                G      Am 
Trust we'll be together soon. 
   C    E    Am           F 
Should our fire turn to dark, 
 F        Fm        C 
Take my heart with you. 

     Em                           Bm 
A tattered photograph my pocket holds. 
Em              Bm    
I keep you secretly. 
     Am 
I studied every line. 
          G 
You're etched upon my mind 
     F 
For not a million soldiers could take you from me.

Take my heart with you.
