[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [A7]
[Dm7] [G7]


For just the [Dm7]chance to win your [G7]heart
You could set the [Cmaj7]bar beyond the [A]stars [A7]
I'll do [Dm7]anything, [G7]anything you ask me to [Em7] [Gm] [A7]


Say you want the [Dm7]Moon
Watch me learn to [Fm7]fly
Ain't no mountain you could [Em7]point to
I wouldn't [A7]climb


It's crazy, but it's [Dm7]true
There's nothing I won't [G]do
I'd risk it [Cmaj7]all for you


To hold your [Dm7]hand and call you [G]mine
I'm tryna be your [C]man 'til the end of [A]time [A7]
Oh, I'll do [Dm7]anything, [G]anything you ask me [Em7]to [Gm] [A7]
I would run through a [Dm7]fire
Just to be by your [Dm7b5]side
If your hearts on the [Em7]line
You could take [A7]mine


It's crazy, but it's [Dm7]true
There's nothing I won't [G]do
I'd risk it [Cmaj7]all for you


I would [Fm]swim across the sea just to [Bb7]show you
Sacri[Gm7]fice my life just to h[Abmaj7]old you
I could go [Dbmaj7]on and on
To prove that you [G7]belong here in my [Cmaj7]arms


[Dm7] [G] [C] [Am7] [A7]
[Dm7] [G] [Em7] [Gm] [A7]


Say you want the [Dm7]Moon
Watch me learn to [Fm7]fly
Ain't no mountain you could [Em7]point to
I wouldn't [A7]climb


It's crazy, but it's [Dm7]true
There's nothing I won't [G]do
I'd risk it [Em7]all [Gm]for [A7]you
It's crazy, but it's [Dm7]true
There's nothing I won't [G]do
I'd risk it [Cmaj7]all for you
