(CN.C.)Oo,

I’ll keep on sing in’ while you (Bm)shake tam bou rine,

wheth er we’re broke, wheth er we’re (F#m)liv in’ the dream.

I see you laugh in’, but you (Bm)know what I mean.

I’m talk in’ ’bout the (F#m)highs.

I’m talk in’ ’bout the (Bm7)lows.

I’m stick in’ by your (F#m)side,

no way I’m let ting (Bm7)go.

I’m talk in’ ’bout for (F#m)ev er, ba (E)by.

I’m giv in’ you for (Bm)ev er, ba by; (A)it’s (D6)yours.

I’m talk in’ ’bout the (F#m)highs.
