But [G]somewhere down the line I left you hanging

You love and forgiveness, gor that I [Am]will climb (Mount Kilimanjaro a thousand times)
[Closing]
[C]Why would I [G]fight it? I know that it’s right when you’re holding my [Am]hand
I knew when I saw you, that God was just giving me a second [F]chance
I’ll climb every mountain, and scream at the top of my lungs that I’m [G]yours
You know that I’m yours
[chorus]
‘Cause [C] [G]I, I will always [Am]love you, (I will always love you)
Baby I could never [F]judge you, (I could never judge you)
I would take you as you [G]are, are, are, are, are
