There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love
But when they say "give" they mean "take"
They'll hang 'round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove
They'll take flight when the Earth starts to shake
Some may say that they'll always be true
Then slip out the door 'fore the dawn
**
But I won't leave you hangin' on
Another may stay 'til they find someone new
Then before you know they'll be gone
**
But I won't leave you hangin' on
**
No, I won't be that someone

A minorAm
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
A minorAm
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
A minorAm
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
A minorAm
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
Some talk of destiny, others of fate
But soon they'll be sayin' goodbye
**
But I won't leave you high and dry
Because a ring don't mean nothing if you can't haul the weight
And some of them don't even try
**
But I won't leave you high and dry
**
I won't leave you wondering why
Pre-Chorus
A minorAm
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
A minorAm
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
A minorAm
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
A minorAm
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
G+G
And storms will surely come
A minorAm
But true love is a choice you must make
G+G
And you're the one that I have set my heart to choose
E minorEm
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through
A minorAm
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
A minorAm
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
A minorAm
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
A minorAm
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
