Key: Gm Intro: Em Cmaj9 Dadd4 x2 Verse 1: Em Cmaj9 Dadd4 I was a kid looking for love, full of hope inside Em Cmaj9 Dadd4 But time was never kind to me, my heart grew cold as ice Em Cmaj9 Dadd4 All out of luck, thought I was stuck, alone for all my life Em Cmaj9 Dadd4 But I was proven wrong the moment I looked in your eyes Pre-Chorus: Am It's true, until I'm in the grave B Darling, I'll love you
Chorus: N.C. Cmaj9 For a thousand years, dear Em G Dadd4 Time is nothing when I'm here with you, oh-oh-ooh N.C.
