Lyrics

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.
