[Verse]
G C
I've known a lot of love and I've had some company
G C
But now I know your love and I'm where I'm supposed to be
G C
I took to you just like an arrow on the string
G C
Well, I should have known one day you'd come for me
[Chorus]
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
[Verse 2]
G C
There'll come a time when I am many miles away
G C
But know I'll follow you as evening follows day
G C
And when the sky, it breaks, I'll raise my face to rain
G C
And I'll love you in the sunlight or the shade
[Chorus]
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
[Bridge]
Em Am
When the world is grey and our bodies old
C G
When thе forger's fire grows ashen-cold
Em Am
Whеn the years drag on and yet pass us by
C G
I'll be there in hard times
[Verse 3]
G C
If there's a day when winter comes without a spring
G C
Or when the birds above go silent with no singing
G C
I'll stick with you just like the mew upon the wing
G C
And we'll weather what the tides of life may bring
[Chorus 2x]
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
D C
May hard times
G
Pass us by
