Intro:

    C G        C G
For-E-ver, for-E-ver...

Chorus 1:

For-e-ver my love,
              C Am     Dm7  G
I'll say; for-e-ver my love.

Verse 1:

C                    Cmaj7
 You have come to me,
                   Dm7
And you ask me how much I care.
         C                        Cmaj7
'Cos you listened to your friends,
                     Dm7
When they told you I wasn't there.

       Am                       Dm7
If you can't see what I feel in-side,
       F                            C     G
By the look of love, that's planted in my eye.

Bridge 1:

     C   Am                Dm7      G
Just ask me, how long I'll need you,
          C   Am                Dm7      G
Go on and ask me, how long I'll love you.

I'll say; for-e-ver my love.
       Em7          F
I will love you and need you.

Verse 2:

C                       Cmaj7
 Days have passed us by,
                      Dm7
And your feelings you care for me.
        C                           Cmaj7
And the things you thought I'd done,
                      Dm7
Could be explained so easily.

          Am                         Dm7
But if my feelings aren't enough for you,
        F                                  C       G
And the words I say, can't, can't give you all the proof.

Bridge 2:

     C   Am                Dm7      G
Just ask me, how long I'll need you,
          C   Am                Dm7      G
Go on and ask me, how long I'll love you.

I'll say; for-e-ver my love.

I will love you and need you.

Am            Am/maj     Am          Dm7    G7
 Forever is a long time, and forever I will love you.

Verse 3:

   C                 Cmaj7
Re-member what I say,
                     Dm7
As I softly speak to you in love,
   C                             Cmaj7
Oh please don't ask your friends,
                       Dm7
If my feelings you are doubting. Oh darling;
