_ _ When the [Dm] world turns blue, [Gm] somewhere [D] after you, _ [Eb] [Bb] I'll just have [Cm] to [Eb] handle it with all
I [G] know how to [D] do.
[Cm] I'll write a [Eb] song about [Gm] you, how love [Eb] can't live [Bb] without you, how every place you [Cm] touch
me [G] made me feel new.
[D] _ [Eb] When the [Dm] world's _
[G] _ _ [Fm] blue, _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] _
_ [Gm] when the [Dm] world's blue, [Gm] you [Fm] will turn into [Bb] rhythm [Eb] where I'll be [A] that
shows the power [G] I knew.
[D] [Cm] And though [Eb] the past [F] may bind [C] me, [Gm] with all [Cm] I left [Bb] behind [Eb] me, I still will play [A] the [D] song
that I wrote for you.
And when we [Gm] are gone, _ the song will evolve, [Dm] [Cm] some stranger [Dm] will hear it [Eb] and he'll say that
_ [Eb] _ _ [D]
it's true.

_ [Gm] _ [D] _ blue, [Gm] and when we are gone, the song will evolve,
[Dm] some [Eb] stranger will [Dm] hear it and [Eb] say that it's [Dm] just a song for [Eb] you.
[F] Every line, [D] every moment is true.
