E      F#  G#m      F#  E     D#m  E


[Verse 1]

           E
If you must wait,
F#            G#m        F#         E         D#m  E
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
           E
If you must weep,
F#          G#m        F#       E             D#m  E
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
            E
If you must mourn, my love
F#             G#m           F#       E       D#m  E     F#
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
D#m         E
If you must mourn,
F#          G#m
Don't do it     alone


[Verse 2]

            E
If you must leave,
F#              G#m        F#         E       D#m  E
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
            E
If you must speak,
F#          G#m            F#      E          D#m  E
Speak every word as though it were unique
            E
If you must die, sweetheart
F#          G#m           F#            E     D#m  E     F#
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
D#m         E
And if you must die,
F#            G#m
Remember your     life

[Chorus]

D#m  E
You are
D#m  E
You are
F#  G#m     D#m  E
        Oh, you are
D#m  E
You are
F#  G#m
        Oh


[Verse 3]

            E
If you must fight,
F#             G#m            F#             E      D#m  E
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
            E
If you must work,
F#            G#m          F#          E            D#m  E
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
            E                  F#  G#m      F#
If you must live, darling one,
D#m  E
Just live
D#m  E
Just live
D#m  E
Just live
F#  G#m
