Dm     G       C
Tales told of times gone by
Am         G      C          F
Of lovers old and love that died
   A      G          C
But I've been told a story of...
Am            G       C
A love thats lived a thousand lives


Dm        C      F      G
Just be gentle, Just be kind
             C    F     Dm
Just be the hero of my mind
      C             Dm
Over hills and far away
   Am             G              C
Be with me 'till night turns to day
      Am       G     C
Then we'll start it all again


[verse]
Am       G           C
Say your words and I'll say mine
Am             G         C        F
Tell me we'll stand the test of time
       Dm        G         C         Am
We'll drink our tears for those not here
Am           G         C
And hand in hand we'll pass the years

[Chorus]
Dm        C      F      G
Just be gentle, Just be kind
             C    F     G
Just be the hero of my mind
      C             Dm
Over hills and far away
   Am             G              C
Be with me 'till night turns to day
F           Am       G     C
Then we'll start it all again


[Bridge]

F  C
I prefer the ending how
                                       G
The boy gets the girl and lives life out
 F             G                     C
No need for symbols and no need for words
                                         Dm
With wings like these we'll fly with the birds
