              Intro: D - F#m7 - G - (Asus4 - A) 
 
D 
We walked away before 
A/C# 
There were too many storms 
G           D/F#    Em7 
We could not get through 
        Asus4 
But I still kept loving you 
 
D 
Now fate brought you back to me 
A/C# 
This time I won't let you leave 
     G        D/F#  Em7   Asus4 
I'm holding on to you, forever, 
     A 
I'm never letting go 
 
G                     D/F# 
The time I spent away from you 
      Em7                     Bm7 
was time that made me see 
Bb                    F/A 
I need to live this life with you 
Em7         D/F#          G6 
I need you here with me 
 
 
Asus4          A       D        F#m7   G 
Now it would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m7                          Bm7  (F#m7 - D/F#) 
To take me from your arms again 
     Em7                        Asus4 
To take me from your side 
 
A                   D        F#m7  G7+ 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m7           Em7 
To pull away this heart of mine 
    F#m       Bm7(11) C 
To make us break apart this time 
                     G7+    Em7 Asus4 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
 
(D - F#m7 - G - (Asus4 - A) ) 
 
 
D 
Hearts sometimes lose their way 
A/C# 
But they find their way back someday 
G       D/F#        Em7 
To the arms they need 
        A7sus4              A 
And I need you like the air I breathe 
 
G                      D/F#                  Em7 
The time I spent away from you was time 
               Bm7 
lost in the rain 
Bb                         F/A 
I'm meant to live this life with you 
         Em7         D/F#              G 
That's something nothing can change 
 
 
Asus4    A       D        F#m7   G 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m7                         Bm7  (F#m7 - D/F#) 
To take me from your arms again 
     Em7                        Asus4 
To take me from your side 
 
A                   D        F#m7  G 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m7           Em7 
To tear away this heart of mine 
    F#m7      Bm7    C 
To make us break apart this time 
                     G7+    Em9 Asus4  D 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
 
Bb              F/A                Gm7 
This time I'm holding on with everything 
Gadd9/E                          Asus4 
This time I won't let go for anything 
 
                    D        F#m7   G7+ 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m                           Bm   (F#m7 - D7+/F#) 
To take me from your arms again 
     Em7                        Asus4 
To take me from your side 
 
A                   D        F#m7  GM7 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
     F#m7           Em7 
To pull away this heart of mine 
    F#m7      Bm7    C 
To make us break apart this time 
                     G7+    Em7 Asus4 
It would take a strong, strong wind 
 
(D - F#m7 - G7+ - Em7/A - D)
