Verse 1:

G                  D7
 If I was the sun, way up there,
C                       G
 I'd go with love, most everywhere.
G                           D7
 I'll be the moon, when the sun goes down,
C                           G
 Just to let you know, that I'm still around.

Chorus 1:

G                     D7
 That's how strong my love is,
    C                    G
Oh, that's how strong my love is.
G                     D7
 That's how strong my love is, baby, baby,

 That's how strong my love is.

Verse 2:

G                            D7
 I'll be the weeping willow, drowning in my tears,
C                     G
 You can go swimming, when you're here.
G                              D7
 I'll be the rainbow, when the sun is gone,
C                           G
 Wrap you in my colours and keep you warm.

Chorus 2:

G                     D7
 That's how strong my love is, darling,
C                     G
 That's how strong my love is, baby.

 That's how strong my love is, ooh,

 That's how strong my love is.

Bridge 1:

Em                     C
 I'll be the ocean, so deep and wide,
Em                            C
 I'll get out the tears, when-ever you cry.
Em                             C
 I'll be the breeze, after the storm is gone,
D
 To dry your eyes and love you warm.

 That's how strong my love is, baby,

 That's how strong my love is, darling,

 That's how strong my love is.

 That's how strong my love is, so deep in,
      C                    G
Well, that's how strong my love is.
        G                  D7
So much love, yes, so much love, ooh,
             C                  G
Yes, so much love, yes, so much love.
              G                 D7
Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,

Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you...
