Lyrics and chords:

Dsus2/E

 intro

Em       Cmaj7           Bm      Cmaj7

If your love were taken from me

Em    Cmaj7           Bm        Cmaj7

Every color would be black and white.

G        D/F#              Em           Amsus

It would be as flat as the world before Colombus.

G          D/F#            Em      F       Dsus2/E

That's the day that I lose half my sight.

Em      Cmaj7            Bm      Cmaj7

If your life were taken from me

Em      Cmaj7                 Bm        Cmaj7

All the trees would freeze in this cold ground.

G         D/F#              Em          Amsus

It would be as cold as the world before Colombus.

G    D/F#             Em      F

Sail to the edge and I'll be there, looking

Dsus2/E

Down.

G     D/F#              Em           C                 G

Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,

D/F#         Em               C              G

All those trinkets of desire, but they never will have you.

D/F#           Em           C              G

And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,

D/F#                F                Dsus2/E

How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.

Em        Cmaj7          Bm      Cmaj7

If your love were taken from me

Em    Cmaj7                     Bm        Cmaj7

Every light that's bright would soon grow dim.

G         D/F#             Em           Amsus

It would be as dark as the world before Colombus.

G         D/F#          Em       F

Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the

Dsus2/E

Brim.

G     D/F#              Em            C                G

Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,

D/F#         Em              C               G

All those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you.

D/F#           Em           C              G

And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,

D/F#                F                Dsus2/E

How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
