This song is played in 3/4 time, so each measure has 3 beats. 
     I has a waltz feel. 
 
     Intro: 
 
     E | C#m7  | A | B  play twice 
 
     Verse 1 
             E        C#m7 
     As you lie in my arms 
             A 
     girl my heart on my sleeve 
     E             C#m7    F#m          B 
     Words come so hard in moments like these 
              A         B             G#m        C#m7 
     There's feelings I have that are so hard to show 
         F#m               G#m7        A            B 
     But right now there's one thing I want you to know 
 
     

 
Refrão -------------
         E          C#m7            A               B 
     As long as the tides ebb, the earth turns the sun sets 
       E            C#m7      F#m     B (transition) 
     I promise I'll always be true 
           A               B          G#m C#m7 
     As as long as there's stars over Texas 
             F#m         B            E 
     darlin' I'll hang a mo -- on for you

     Verse 2 
 
       E           C#m7 
     I know I have stumbled and 
     A 
     caused you some tears 
              E         C#m7            F#m         B 
     When you needed me most, I haven't always been here 
       A             B         G#m          C#m7 
     I know I'm not always the man I should be 
         F#m        G#m7        A           B 
     But don't ever wonder what you mean to me 
 
     Repeat Chorus 
 
     Ending 
 
             F#m        B            E 
     darlin' I'll hang a mo -- on for you
