(Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
[D] [G]
Verse 1:
[G] If I was the sun, [D7]way up there,
[C] I'd go with love, most [G]everywhere.
[G] I'll be the moon, when the [D7]sun goes down,
[C] Just to let you know, that [G]I'm still around.
Chorus 1:
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is,
Oh, [C]that's how strong my [G]love is.
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, baby, baby,
[C] That's how strong my [G]love is.
Verse 2:
[G] I'll be the weeping willow, [D7]drowning in my tears,
[C] You can go swimming, [G]when you're here.
[G] I'll be the rainbow, when the [D7]sun is gone,
[C] Wrap you in my colours and [G]keep you warm.
Chorus 2:
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, darling,
[C] That's how strong my [G]love is, baby.
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, ooh,
[C] That's how strong my [G]love is.
Bridge 1:
[Em] I'll be the ocean, so [C]deep and wide,
[Em] I'll get out the tears, when-[C]ever you cry.
[Em] I'll be the breeze, after the [C]storm is gone,
[D] To dry your eyes and love you warm.
Chorus 3:
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, baby,
[C] That's how strong my [G]love is.
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, darling,
[C] That's how strong my [G]love is.
Coda:
[G] That's how strong my [D7]love is, so deep in,
Well, [C]that's how strong my [G]love is.
So much [G]love, yes, so much [D7]love, ooh,
Yes, so much [C]love, yes, so much [G]love.
Anything that [G]I can do, I'll be [D7]good for you,
Any kind of [C]love you want, I'll [G]be with you...
