Em7                  D              Cadd9           Gmaj7/B 
Across the oceans, across the seas, Over forests of blackened trees. 
Em7                           D                 Cadd9          
D 
(Through) valleys so still we dare not breathe, To be by your side. 
Cadd9             Em               Cadd9              G 
Over the shifting desert plains, Across mountains all in flames. 
        D/F#              Cadd9          D             Em 
Through howling winds and driving rains, To be by your side. 
 
Cadd9          Em         Cadd9           G 
Every mile and every year for every one a little tear. 
Am           Em                Am            Em 
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try. 
 
Em7                   D                Cadd9            Gmaj7/B 
Into the night as the stars collide, across the borders that divide 
Em7                       D          Cadd9         D 
Forests of stone standing petrified, to be by your side. 
 
Cadd9          Em          Cadd9             G 
Every mile and every year, For every one a single tear. 
Am          Em                  Am           Em 
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try. 
 
      Cadd9    D      Cadd9           D 
For I know one thing, Love comes on a wing. 
    Em        D       G       Cadd9 Am   Em 
For tonight I will be by your side. 
 
But tomorrow I will fly. 
 
 
         Em7                  D             Cadd9              
   Gmaj7/B 
From the deepest ocean to the highest peak, Through the frontiers of your sleep. 
Em7                       D              Cadd9          D 
Into the valley where we dare not speak, To be by your side. 
Cadd9              Em         Cadd9                    G 
Across the endless wilderness where all the beasts bow down their heads. 
Am             Em              Am           Em 
Darling I will never rest till I am by your side. 
 
 
Cadd9          Em          Cadd9             G 
Every mile and every year, Time and Distance disappear 
Am       Em                     Am              Em 
I cannot explain this, dear No, I will not even try. 
 
       Cadd9         D/F#   Cadd9           D 
And  I know just one thing, Love comes on a wing 
 
        Em    D        G            Cadd9   
 Em 
And tonight I will be by your side. 
But tomorrow I will... 
 
    Cadd9   D          Cadd9          D 
 ...fly.....away, Love rises with the day 
        Em    D      G       Am    Em? 
And tonight I may be by your side. 
But tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly.
