Chorus

    G                                 C
Til the end of the world rolls ’round I’ll keep on loving you
   D
As long as the sun goes up and comes down
And the big blue sky goes down to the ground
                                                       G
As long as the world goes round and round I’ll keep on loving you

Verse 1

  G                                             C
I tried to sail the sea of life I rowed my boat alone
     D                                               G
Your love meant nothing to me dear my heart was made of stone
                                                      C
To a harbor filled with loneliness my little boat was moored
    D                                       G
And on the day I first met you I fell right overboard

Verse 2

         G                     C
Whenever you’re around me dear my heart just won’t stand still
    D                                           G
And when it comes to kissing you I’ll never get my fill
                                                    C
They said I’d never settle down that I would always roam
     D                                           G
That I could never be the type for a loving wife and home

Verse 3

   G                                  C
So now I know the way I felt was only selfish pride
  D                                                      G
I thought my heart was fireproof but you burned your way inside
                                                  C
So tell me what I’ve got to do and tell me how it stands
    D                                         G
The cards are on the table dear my life is in your hands
