Lyrics

How do (G)I

get through the (D)night with out you?

If I had to (Am7)live with out you, what kind of (D)life would that be?

Oh, I,

I need you in my (D)arms, need you to hold.

You’re my (C)world, my heart, my soul.

If (Bm7)you ev er leave,

(Am7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing (Bm7)good in my life.

With out (G)you,

there’d be no (D)sun in my sky.

There would be no (Am7)love in my life.

There’d be no (D)world left for me.

And I,

I ba by, I don’t (D)know what I would do.

I’d be (C)lost if I lost you.

If (Bm7)you ev er leave,

(Am7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing (Bm7)good in my life.

With out (Bm7)real in my life.

And tell me (F)now: How do I (C)live with out you?

(Am)I want to know.

How do I (C)breathe with out you if (Am)you ev er go?

How did I ev er, (Am)ev er sur vive?

How do I, how do I, oh, how do I (F)live?

If (Bm7)you ev er leave,

(Am7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing.

(Bm7)Need you with me,

(Am7)ba by, ’cause you know that you’re ev ’ry thing (Bm7)good in my life.

And tell me (F)live?
