Don’t think a bout to (D5)mor row;
we’ve on ly got to (D5)day.
There’s noth ing that I (D5)want from you,
not a word you have to (D5)say.
You are all I need,
and all I can de fend,
all I need to (Bb)hold on to
if the world should (D5)end.
(Bbmaj7)In my im ag i (Dm)na tion
(Bbmaj7)I could not have (Bbmaj13)made this (B)up.
In a (Bbmaj7)world strang (Bbmaj13)er than (Dm)fic tion,
ours (Bbmaj7)is no (Bbmaj13)fic tion (B)al love.
I can see the (Gm)you
un der your sec (Dm)ond skin;
I can (Gm)feel your heart beat (A)quick en,
(Dm)quick en
and then (Bbmaj7)slow.
There’s noth ing (Gm)else I need
to (A)know,
and there’s (Bbmaj7)noth ing
you need to pre (A)tend.
If the world should (Gm)end,
and the sky to (F6)night is (Eb)lu
mi (Dm)nous
for all
the wrong (Dm)rea sons,
and ev ’ry (Eb)door way
is (Dm)hid
ing
(A)some thing,
and (A7)if this world
should all
come (A)crash
ing
(Bbmaj7)down,
I (Bb)would n’t care
at (A)all.
And if there’s no to (D5)mor row,
I’ll have to day a (D5)gain.
There’s no time for (D5)sor row
when there’s no such thing as (D5)time.
And if the dark ness will de scend,
don’t need a sav ior or a friend.
I can say I’ve (Gm)real ly loved
if the world should (Dm)end.
