[Verse 1/Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Whenever I'm weary
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
From the battles that rage in my head
G D/F# Em
You make sense of madness
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
When my sanity hangs by a thread
C B7
I lose my way, but still you
Em Dadd11 Dbm7b5
Seem to understand
Am7 D (riff – G Am7)
Now and forever, I will be your man
[Verse 2/Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Sometimes I just hold you
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
Too caught up in me to see
G D/F# Em
I'm holding a fortune
Am7 Am7/G D/F#
That Heaven has given to me
C B7
I'll try to show you
Em Dadd11 Dbm7b5
Each and every way I can
Am7 D (riff to bridge)
Now and forever, I will be your man.
