When life[G] leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you[Dsus4] need help, if you need help
I'll shut[Em7] down the city lights
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make[Cadd9] you well, to make you well
When [G]enemies are at your door
I'll carry you way from more
If you[Dsus4] need help, if you need help
Your [Em7] hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make [Cadd9] you well, to make you well
Give me[Cadd9] reasons [G]to believe[D]
That you[Cadd9] would do the [G]same for me[D]
And I would do it for [Cadd9] yooooouuuu, [G] for[Em7]yooooouuuuuu[D]
Baby [Cadd9] I'm not moving on[G]
I love you[Em7] long after you're gone[D]
For [Cadd9] yooooouuuuu, [G] for[Em7] yoooooouuuuu[D]
You would [Cadd9] never sleep alone[G]
I love you [Em7] long after you're gone[D]
And long[G] after you're gone gone [G] gone
When you [G] fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you[Dsus4] on your feet, you on your feet
And if [Em7] your heart is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me[Cadd9] what you need, what do you need
I [Cadd9] surrender[G] honestly[D]
You've always[Cadd9] done [G] the same for me[D]
And I would do it for[Cadd9] yooooouuuu,[G]for[Em7]yooooouuuuuu[D]
Baby [Cadd9] I'm not [G] moving on
I love you [Em7]long after you're gone[D]
For [Cadd9] yooooouuuuu, [G] for[Em7]yoooooouuuuu[D]
You would[Cadd9] never sleep alone
I love you[Em7] long after you're gone[D]
And long[G] after you're gone gone gone[Em7]
You're my back bone[G], you're me cornerstone[Cadd9]
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving[Em7]
You're my headstart[G], you're my rugged heart[Cadd9]
You're the pokes that I've always needed
Like a [G] drum baby[Em7] don't stop[D] beating[Cadd9]
Like a [G] drum baby[Em7] don't stop[D] beating[Cadd9]
Like a [G] drum baby[Em7] don't stop[D] beating[Cadd9]
Like a [G] drum my heart[Em7] never stops[D] beating
