VERSE:
 F                                    Bb
For all I've been blessed with in my life
C                         F
There was an emptiness in me
F                        Bb
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
C                                  F
With one kind touch you've set me free
 
 
CHORUS:
          Bb         C
Let the world stop turning
         F        Bb
Let the sun stop burning
                                          C
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
      Bb         C             F               Bb
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
                                       C
The only dream that mattered had come true
         Bb          C        F
In this life, I was loved by you.
 
 
VERSE:
F                          Bb
For every mountain I have climbed
C                    F
Every raging river crossed
F                              Bb
You were the treasure that I longed to find
C                             F
Without your love I would be lost.
 
 
CHORUS:
          Bb         C
Let the world stop turning
         F        Bb
Let the sun stop burning
                                          C
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
      Bb           C           F               Bb
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
                                       C
The only dream that mattered had come true
         Bb           C       F
In this life, I was loved by you.
 
 
BREAK:
Bb
I know that I won't live forever
       F                    C
But forever I'll be loving you.

CHORUS:
          Bb         C

Let the sun stop burning
                                           C
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
      Bb          C             F              Bb
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
                                       C
The only dream that mattered had come true
         Bb          C        F
In this life, I was loved by you.

How about not relying on a capo and just post the actual chords and let the capo hacks deal?

. The chords for the bridge are incorrect, and once again, I wish I could change the chords so that I could use my iPad instead of having to print out the lyrics then correct the chords

In the version I've heard (don't know what it is), these chords should be played relative to a capo at 6th, not 5th. Good chords though
