D (xx0232@1)                          AThat (x02220@1)darker days are drawing near
            Bm (x24432@1)   A (x02220@1)     DMy (xx0232@1)darling, you seduce the sun
                 A (x02220@1)    DRivers (xx0232@1)flow and rivers run

                    A (x02220@1)    DHow (xx0232@1)rivers run and rivers flow

CHORUS
And if those rivers should ever run dry
Somewhere the rain will still fall,
Will still fall from the sky

DSo (xx0232@1)I cross my heart and hope to live
DJust (xx0232@1)long enough that I can give
DIt (xx0232@1)all to you, my darling one
