Em             G   Em                   G
  Once upon a time, somewhere in your past
C                 G               Em            G   G
  Someone said forever, but the promise didn't last
Em                 G   Em              G
  Now you don't believe love is ever true
C                      G                   Em            G
  You steel yourself against the day when I stop loving you

C           C                      D       D
  When the day comes that I don't love you
Em                 C                D   D
  Every star will fall out of the sky
C             C          G        C
  And every mountain will tumble down
Em        D         G
  And every river run dry

For every drop of rain that ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell and never made a sound
I'll be there, to hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you, baby, should you ever fall

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
C             C          G        C    C
  And every mountain will tumble down
Em        D          G    G
  And every river run dry
C         D          G    G.
  And every river run dry
