My love goes on (video)

Em C B7

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh !

Em C B7

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh !

Em

1. Tell me, why you hold yourself like that, you look so sad,

Am Em

but don't tell me that you're giving up when I got your back.

Em

Still hiding from those people, you can't forgive for what they did,

Am Em

you can hold it on your own, but that's no way to live.

Am Em

1a.Don't be scared 'cause there's no doubt,

D

I'll lift you up when you're feeling down.

Am Em

I'll mend your heart, I'll heal your wounds,

D

I'll do what no one else could do.

Am Em

I've told you once, I've told you twice,

D

I'll tell you this a thousand times,

C D B7

like the burning of the sun, just like the river runs.

Em - D - C - D

My love goes on !

Em D

But when everything has changed

C D

I'll be the one thing that remains !

Em - D - C - D

My love goes on !

Em D

But when your whole world has shattered,

C B7

I'll be the only one who matters.

Em - D - C - B7 Em - D - C - B7

My love goes on ! My love goes on !

Em

2. It's easy to buy into what you've been sold, but there's no soul,

Am Em

and I swear that hell would freeze over in this world so cold.

Em

So lift up your hands and rest your weary feet,

'cause you're here with me,

Am Em

and I'll hold you in my open arms and set you free !

+ repeat verse 1a + CHORUS

Em D C

+ Just like the beating of a drum,

B7 Em

that's the way my love goes on !

D C

Just like the birds will sing their song,

B7 Am Em B7 Em

that's the way my love goes on and on, on and on,

Am B7

like the burning of the sun, just like the river runs.

+ CHORUS + Em - D - C - B7 - Em
