:verse 1: 

G 
Lover, won't you stay with me until the boatman comes for me 

Em                     C         G 
and kindly carries me across the sea? 

G 
May our legends live to tell how we burnt down Heaven and conquered Hell. 

Em                   C             G 
But you and I should live forever 

Em                     C        G 
because you and I know how to live.  



Em           C   G           A                  
It's you and me. Our love is bigger than 'most 

Em   C      G                A        
everything. It stretched out further than our 

Em     C   G                      A            
eyes could see when you gave your heart to me 

C        G    A 
completely  

C        G    A 
completely. 


Bridge: 

Em       A                  C                   G 
Oh, everybody knows what it looks like to be in love. 

Em               A                    C            D           
Even the boatman knows it's so but he still has to do his job. 

            C 
I know it's tough 

            G 
I know it's tough 

            C 
I know it's tough 

            G 
I know it sucks. 


verse 2: 

G  
So lover won't you stay with me, til the boatman comes... 

                Em             C              G 
Because I don't care about the past or future 

          Em                    C           G 
when this existence is probably all we have. 

           Em                C               G 
And so the lives we make are all that matter, 

         Em                C            G 
so let's live to love and love to live.

It's you and me. Our love is bigger than 'most 

Em   C      G                A        
everything. It stretched out further than our 

Em     C   G                      A            
eyes could see when you gave your heart to me 

C        G    A 
completely  

Em           C   G           A                  
It's you and me. Our love is bigger than 'most

everything. It stretched out further than our 

Em     C   G                      A            
eyes could see when you gave your heart to me
