The (CN.C.)more I read the (Fmaj7)pa pers, (CN.C.)the less I com (Dm)pre (D9)hend

the (Gm7)world and all its (C9)ca pers, and (F)how it all (Abdim7)will (Gm7)end.

(Gm7)Noth ing seems to be (Am7)last ing, but (G7)that is n’t our af (C7)fair.

(Gm7)We’ve got some thing (E)per ma nent, (A7)I (D)mean in the (Bm)way

we (C)care.

It’s ver y (G7)clear:

(Gm7)our love is (C)here to (F)stay.

Not for a (G9)year,

(Bm6)but ev er and a (Eb7)day.

The (G7)ra di (C7)o (D7)and the (Gm7)tel e phone (C7)and the (Fmaj7)mov ies (Bb)that we (Gm)know may (A7)just be (Dm)pass ing (Dm(maj7))fan cies, and in (G7)time may (Gm7)go.

But, oh my (G7)dear,

(C7)our love is here to (F)stay.

To geth er (G9)we’re

(C)go ing a long, long (Eb7)way.

In (G7)time, the (C7)Rock ies may (D7)crum ble, Gi (Gm7)bral tar may (C7)tum ble.

They’re on ly (D)made of (Gm)clay, (Bdim7)but

our love is (C7sus)here to stay.
