G                     Em 
I will not be the one who turns his back and runs 
C                                D 
When things get rocky down the line 
G                          Em 
And I will not be the one holding the smoking gun 
C                                 D 
If love don't stand the test of time 
C            G        Em      C    D  
I love you forever I will be your man 
C            D             G 
Beside you always I will stand 
G                 Em 
I didn't say I do to take control of you 
C                             D 
I have no chains to hold you down 
G   
If you'll let me spread my wings 
Em 
You'll get the best of me 
C                                 D 
Deep in your heart is where I'm bound 
C             G          Em         C    D 
I will not forsake you I will take your hand 
C            D             G 
Beside you always I will stand 
C                G 
No matter what happens 
       Em           D            C          Em 
This feeling will stay till the day that I die 
G                 D          Em 
You fill up the heart of my soul 
         D 
That I take to the other side 
G                       Em 
You'll be the only one when all is said and done 
C                            D 
I'll keep you close to me I swear 
G                    Em 
If ever you are down no need to look around 
C                                  D 
Just close your eyes and I'll be there 
C            G                     D 
I love you forever I will be your man 
C            D             G    G Em C D G  
Beside you always I will stand
