Intro x3

E**                             B
  These words I wrote, play and sing
 to you
D                                 
  Do not convey the love I brought
     A**
 and bring to you
Am                        E*
  For this is a song for while I'm 
away
   A*                      E      
To say all the things I'd love to 
      (Riff1)
say


            A5       G#5   
You are my life, my everything, 
F#5         E5         (Riff2)
you're all I have
Continues after the ad
           C#5                 
You are my hopes, my dreams, my 
 B5         A5
world come true
F#5   E5          (Riff2)
You're all I have
               F#5       G#5     
Please heed me now these words I 
(F#5)   E5  (Riff2)
have to say

Intro x3

Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at 
the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart

Chorus x2

Intro x3

And far away hills look greener 
still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay
