                      Bm
Do you think I'd give up?
                     A
That this might've shook the love from me
F#m
Or that I was on the brink
                F#                  C             G
How could you think, darlin', I'd scare so easily?
               Bm
Now that it's done
                  A                     F#m
There's not one thing that I would change
                                 F#
My life was a storm since I was born
             C                 G
How could I fear any hurricane?

           Em
If someone asked me at the end

Chorus:
                               A
I'd tell them, "Put me back in it"
        F#m                     G
Da-ah, darlin', I would do it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Bm                         A
If I could hold you for a minute
           F#m                      G
Da-ah, darlin', I'd go through it again
        Bm
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

          A                         F#m
I would still be surprised I could find you,
            C
darlin', in any life
G                Bm
If I could hold you for a minute
A       F#m                     G
Da-ah, darlin', I would do it again
        Bm
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

For all that was said
Of where we'd end up at the end of it
When the heart would cease, ours never knew peace
What good would it be on the far side of things?
It was too soon
When that part of you was ripped away
A grip takin' hold like a cancer that grows
Each piece of your body that it takes

Though I know my heart would break

Chorus

I would still be surprised I could find you, darlin'
in any life
If I could hold you for a minute
Da-ah, darlin', I would do it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

                      A
I would not change it each time
           F#m                          G
Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
(I've heard there's nothing to hurt)
Bm                    A/C#
I would not change it each time
           F#m                          G
Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
(I've heard there's nothing to hurt)
D                     A
I would not change it each time
           F#m
Heaven is not fit to house a love
      G
Like you and I
