Lyrics

With (Dsus2)out you,

the (Dsus2)ground thaws,

the (Dsus2)rain falls,

the (Dsus2)grass grows.

With (Dsus2)out you,

the (Dsus2)seeds root,

the (Dsus2)flow ers bloom,

the (Dsus2)chil dren play,

the (Bm7)stars gleam,

the (Bm7)po ets dream,

the (F#m)ea gles (Gsus2)fly

with out you.

The (Bm7)earth turns,

the (Bm7)sun er burns,

but (F#m)I (Gsus2)die

with out

you.

With (Dsus2)out you,

the (Dsus2)breeze warms,

the (Dsus2)girl smiles,

the (Dsus2)cloud moves.

With (Dsus2)out you,

the (Dsus2)tides change,

the (Dsus2)boys ers run,

the (Dsus2)o ceans crash,

the (Bm7)crowds roar,

the (Bm7)days ets soar,

the (F#m)ba bies (Gsus2)cry

with out you.

The (Bm7)moon glows,

the (Bm7)sun er flows,

but (F#m)I (Gsus2)die

with out

you.

With

The world re (Dsus2)vives,

col ors re (Dsus2)new,

but I know (A)blue,

(Am)on ly (G)blue,

(Gm)lone ly (D)blue,

with in me (Asus)blue

with (D)out you.

With (Bm7)Iโ€™m gone

โ€™cause (F#m)I (Gsus2)die

with out

you,

with out

you,

with out

you,

with out

you.
