  Bm                       A
Remember the first time I told you I love you
         Em
It was raining hard and you never heard
      Bm                         A
You sneezed! and I had to say it over
            Em
"'I said I love you!' I said!" you didn't say a word

Just held your hands to my shining eyes
And I watched as the rain ran through your fingers
Held your hands to my shining eyes and
smiled as you kissed me

         G
"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said...
         A
And it starts the day you make the sign
  G                                            A
"Tell me I'm forever yours and you're forever mine
         D  A Bm  Em7
Forever mine."

Chorus:
         D                     A
"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said...
        Bm                            Em7
And it starts the day you cross that line
   A                                                G  Em
"Swear I will always be yours and you'll always be mine
               G    Em
You'll always be mine
        G     Em
Always be mine..."

Remember the last time I told you I love you
It was warm and safe in our perfect world
You yawned and I had to say it over
"I said, I love you", I said, you didn't say a word

Just held your hands to your shining eyes
And I watched as the tears ran through your fingers
Held your hands to your shining eyes and cried

Chorus:
"If you die", you said, "So do I", you said
But it ends the day you see how it is
There is no always forever, just this
Just this

"If you die", you said, "So do I", you said
But it ends the day you understand
There is no if, just and
There is no if, just and
There is no if...
