Forever
G Em
1. I know I’ve had you troubled, and I know I’ve seared your mind,
Bm G D
But you know that I love you and
that our love’s not blind.
G Em
I’m sure my dreams lie with
you, but I’ve many more beside,
Bm G D
and
if I can’t see them through, our love will slowly die.
Em C G
So if you doubt for the time
that you’re spending,
Em C
G
and
if you doubt for the love in your heart,
D C
Em C
think
of London and the girl you’re returning,
G D G
and
the days you defend will turn to gold.
G D
So love with your eyes, love with your mind,
Em C
G - D
love with your, dare I say
forever.
G
D
Do it for yourself, do it for the girl,
Em C
G - D
do it for you, dare I say
forever !

2. And I’ve known pious women who’ve led such
secret lives,
Em G D
shameless
in the dark, so shameful in the light.
G
Em
But you may not be pious, and
I may not be saved,
Em G D
but
we could live quite happily and quietly unfazed.
Em
C G
So if you doubt for the time
that you’re spending,
Em
C G
and
if you doubt for the love in your heart,
D C Em C
think
of London and the girl you’re returning,
G D G
and
the days you defend will turn to gold.
G D
So love with your eyes, love with your mind,
Em C G - D
love with your, dare I say
forever.
G D
Do it for yourself, do it for the girl,
Em C G - D
do it for you, dare I say forever
!
Em C G
+ I was dreaming of
the Liffey,
Em C G
I was thinking of the Thames.
Em C
G
And now the East River flows
by to the same end.
D
C
Are we too sentimental to not
look back and stare ?
