Verse 1:
G Am
Like a mountain, the clouds clamber over me
C
I was far from my home when she opened me
G
And stole my heart from out of my breast
Am
Like an ocean, your arms they did flow to me
Brought me in to your waves
C G
I was hopelessly bound to never do better than this
G
Chorus:
G
Whatever it takes
Am
I would walk over fire just to lay
C
By your side and I don't have to stay
G
It's okay, one second's enough
G
G
For to be by your side
Am
I'll be gone by the morning's first light
C
Before your weary head it does rise
G
I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
Verse 2:
G Am
Like a voyaging boat, I have rocky spells
C
But they come and they go, you could never tell
G
I was sinking just thinking about you
G
Am
And like a white circling bird I was floating
C
Like a long winding road I was open
G
Like a maid in the night I was hoping
Chorus:
G
Whatever it takes
Am
I would walk over fire just to lay
C
By your side and I don't have to stay
G
It's okay, one second's enough
G
G
For to be by your side
Am
I'll be gone by the morning's first light
C
Before your weary head it does rise
G
I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
G
Bridge:
G Am
Oh you'll never be gone as long as I'm living
C
And all of me heart is all that I'm giving
G
For one night, for one second's enough
G
Am
Oh and there'll be a time where I'm surely dying
C
And lay by my side, but don't you be crying
G
'Cause I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
