B7    Em    B7  Em    B+     Asus4 Am   Am+7
If it takes for-ev-er I will  wait for you,

Am7    D7  Am7  D9    D7      Em        B7
For a thousand summers I will wait for you;

Am7         Em   B7  Em      B+       Asus4  Am  Am+7
Till you're back be-side me, till I'm hold - ing you,

Am7     Em           B7         Em      B7
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms.


    Em   B7  Em      B+  Asus4 Am  Am+7
Anywhere you wander, any-where you go,

Am7   D7  Am7 D9         D7     Em      B7
Every day re - mem - ber how I love you so;

        Em    B7  Em        B+   Asus4 Am  Am+7
In your heart be-lieve what in my heart I know,

Am7     Em       B7            Em   B+
That forevermore I'll wait for you.

Till you're here be-side me, till I'm touch-ing you
