D D7 G D
Baby you're the only dream I've ever had that's come true
A
There's so much more to reach for thanks to you
D G(walk down) Em
All I've had is empty nights but I see what we've got
G D A D
And if you'll just hold the ladder, baby, I'll climb to the top
Chorus:
G A D
If you'll just stand beside me all the way
E7 A
I'll do all the things that didn't matter yesterday
D G(walkdown) Em
And I'll be all the finest man can be before I stop
G D A D
And if you'll just hold the ladder, baby, I'll climb to the top
Lead
The things just started changing with your touch
Yesterday, tomorrow just didn't mean as much
And I'll be all the finest man can be before I stop
And if you'll just hold the ladder, baby, I'll climb to the top
