3/4 Time
(G)I've spent my (C)life, look(D)ing for (G)you
Finding my (C)way wasn't (D)easy to (G)do
But I (D)knew there was you all the (G)while (G7)
And (C)it's been worth every (D)mile
(G)Lay down be(G7)side me, and (C)love me and hide me
(G)Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a(D)way
(G)Hold me so (G7)close that (C)I feel your heartbeat
And (G)don't ever (D)wander a(G)way
Mornings and evenings; all were the same
And there was no music 'til I heard your name
But I knew when I saw your smile
Now I can rest for awhile
Lay down beside me, and love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away
(G)Lay (G7)down be(C)side me,
(G)Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a(D)way
(G)Hold (G7)me so (C)close
And (G)don't ever (D)wander a(G)way
(Repeat 2-3 times)
