Verse 1
D 
 (D major) I'm lying here beside you and
G 
D 
I  (G major) watch you as you  (D major) sleep
And I can tell that you're dreaming
A 
by the  (A major) smile that you keep
D 
And I  (D major) know you know I love you in
G 
a  (G major) way that's soft and sweet
D 
But you're  (D major) holding on to a promise
A 
D 
I don't  (A major) know if I can  (D major) keep
G 
Yeah, you're  (G major) holding on to something I
D 
don't  (D major) know if it's right
A 
But I'm  (A major) a lover and a dreamer and I
D 
 (D major) love to hold you tight
G 
Sometimes  (G major) I  think I'm going
D 
up a  (D major) hill that's way too steep
A 
And you're  (A major) holding on to a promise
D

G 
D 
cause  (G major) you're still here with  (D major) me
And I wonder just how long a
A 
 (A major) love like ours can be
