 verse 1: 
 D     E 
 Am I real? 
         Bm7                               E 
 Do the words I speak before you make you feel? 
           Bm7                              A  
 That the love I have for you will see no ending? 
               Am                                 E   
 Well, if you look into my eyes, then you should know  
           Bm7                                    E             
 That you have nothing here to doubt, nothing to fear 
           Bm7                                          A 
 And you can lay your questions down, 'cause if you'll hold me 
         Am                             G                       
 We can fade into the night and you'll know 
 
 
 chorus: 
      Em         Bm7      C             G        
 The world could die and everything may lie 
    Em                D C-D-G    
 Still you shouldn't cry  
   Em             Bm7       C                G 
 'cause time may pass but longer than it'll last  
         Em        D  C-D-(do the guitar intro)             
 I'll be by your side 
  
 
 verse 2: (do chord of verse 1) 
 
 Take my hand  
 And gently close your eyes so you could understand  
 That there is no greater love tonight than what I have for you 
 Well, if you feel the same way for me, then let to 
 We can journey, a garden no one knows 
 Life is short my darling, tell me that you love 
 So we can fade into the night and you'll know 
 
 (repeat chorus)
