[Verse]
F#m        E  F#m         E
Talking makes us human that`s what I was told
   B         E    F#m           E
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
 A     E     C#m           B  E
Had I the courage to tell you I`d promise you this


[Chorus]
             D2 D A4
If that`s what you need
 A     A   A2     A2    A     E
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D D
If that`s what you need
 A     A2   A2      A2    A    E
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before


[Verse]
F#m        E  F#m         E
When you came along and turned it all around
  B             E    F#m             E
I promised myself I wouldn`t tell you  Until we stood on solid ground
 A           E   C#m       B  E
Holding the candle between us I`ll tell you this


[Chorus]
             D2 D A4
If that`s what you need
 A     A   A2     A2    A     E
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D D
If that`s what you need
 A     A2   A2      A2    A    E
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before


[Interlude]
C         C6    C   C6  C
And if there`s any kind of danger
C      C6      A
I hear you calling out my name
C         C6  C    C6  C
You can follow in my footsteps
C          C   Bm7  E
And I will lead you safely back again

[Instrumental]

E E6 E A C#m B E

B A B C#m B A E A A2 E


[Verse]
F#m       E  F#m        E
I never understood you however hard I tried
  B              E   F#m              E
But it took me a while until I realised  That all the problems were mine
 A         E  C#m      B  E
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this


[Outro]
             D2 D A4
If that`s what you need
 A     A   A2     A2    A     E
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
             D2 D D
If that`s what you need
 A     A2   A2      A2    A    E
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
             D2 D A4
And when things go wrong
 A     A   A2     A2    A     E
I`ll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
             D2 D D
When you go wrong
 A     A2   A2      A2    A    E
I`ll be the reason you`ll be protected all of your days
