Verse 1:
       G                                                            C
The world's been spinning 'round since time began
     D                                           G
An' when it stops, it's out of my hands
                              B                   D
So I could swear forever for all it's worth
     Am7                                      D       D7
Or give you every day I have on Earth

Chorus:
G
Long as I live
Gmaj9
Long as I breathe
        Am11
With every heartbeat
    Am7/D                    D7
I'll need         you near me
             G                
I won't leave you behind
          Em7              Bm7                C9                  
'Til the Lord says it's time to go with him
      Am7/D                  G
I'm yours--      long as I live

Em7     Bm7     C9

Verse 2:
       G                                                   C
No matter if there's mountains you can't move
     D                                                         G
Or harder times then you thought you'd go through
             D                    B                          D
And the weight of your world's too much to bear
Am7                               D       D7
Just remember I'll always be there

G
Long as I live

I'll need         you near me
             G                
I won't leave you behind
          Em7              Bm7                C9                  
'Til the Lord says it's time to go with him
      Am7/D                  G
I'm yours--      long as I live

Bridge:
       C                            
The moon and stars aren't mine to give
Bm
      Neither is eternity
      Bb
But I'll give you a promise tonight
       Am7     D
That I can keep

Chorus:
G
Long as I live
Gmaj9
Long as I breathe
        Am11
With every heartbeat
    Am7/D                    D7
I'll need         you near me
             G                
I won't leave you behind
          Em7              Bm7                C9
