Lyrics

How do I

get through the (B)night with out you?

If I had to (F#m7)live with out you,

what kind of (Bsus)life would that be?

Oh, I,

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

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

If (G#m7)you ev er (C#m7)leave,

(F#m7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing (G#m7)good in my (C#m7)life.

With out you,

there’d be no (B)sun in my sky.

There would be no (F#m7)love in my life.

There’d be no (Bsus)world left for me.

And I,

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

I’d be (A)lost if I lost you.

If (G#m7)you ev er (C#m7)leave,

(F#m7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing (G#m7)good in my (C#m7)life.

With out you, (G#m7)real in my (C#m7)life.

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

(F#m)I want to know.

How do I (A)breathe with out you if (F#m)you ev er go?

How do (Em7)I ev er,

(F#m7)ev er sur (G)vive?

How do I,

how do I, oh, how do I (D)live?

If (G#m7)you ev er (C#m7)leave,

(F#m7)ba by, you would take a way ev ’ry thing.

(G#m7)Need you with (C#m7)me.

(F#m7)Ba by, ’cause you know that you’re ev ’ry thing (G#m7)good in my (C#m7)life.

And tell me now: (D)live?

(D)live?
