Chorus:
If you[Dsus4] take [D]your love from[F#m] me,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone
If your [Dsus4]love [D]I couldn't call my [F#m]own,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
Verse 1:
I [D]need your love [A]in every way
[D]Your love I cling to when [A]things slip away.
[D]Without your love I'll be [A]lost and alone.
[D]No reason for living, all[A] purpose would be gone.
[Em]Without you there for my [F#m]eyes to [F#]behold
[Bm]My life would be empty, my[E7] heart would grow cold.
Chorus:
If you [Dsus4]take [D]your love from [F#m]me,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
If your [Dsus4]love [D]I couldn't call my [F#m]own,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
Verse 2:
When I [D]think of love, I [A]think of me and you.
When I [D]think of happiness I t[A]hink of us too.
[D]You're my yesterdays, and [A]all my tomorrows,
The [D]air I breathe. Every[A]thing I need.
[Em]If from my life yo[F#m]u were ever [F#]gone,
I'd [Bm]fall to pieces. [E7]You I depend on.
Chorus:
If you [Dsus4]take [D]your love from[F#m] me,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
If your [Dsus4]love [D]I couldn't call my [F#m]own,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
Verse 3:
[D]Darling without you I'll [A]go on searching
With a [D]lonely heart that [A]won't stop hurting.
[D]Sorrow would be written [A]on my face
[D]All my tears would [A]leave its trace.
[Em]I would be like a [F#m]statue in a [F#]park
[Bm]Cold and alone, a [E7]man without a heart.
Chorus:
If you [Dsus4]take [D]your love from [F#m]me,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
If your [Dsus4]love [D]I couldn't call my [F#m]own,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone.
Fade:
[Dsus4]Turn t[D]o stone, [F#m]turn to stone
Just t[G]urn to stone, I'll t[A]urn to stone.
If your [Dsus4]love [D]I couldn't call my [F#m]own.
I'll [G]turn to stone, just [A]turn to stone,
I'll [G]turn to stone, [A]turn to stone...
String muting while strumming also does nicely
God bless!
