This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse
Em Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7
If your love were taken from me
Em Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7
Every color would be black and white.

It would be as flat as the world before Colombus.

It would be as cold as the world before Colombus.

Sail to the edge and I'll be there, looking
Dsus2/E
Down.
G D/F# Em C G
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,
D/F# Em C G
All those trinkets of desire, but they never will have you.
D/F# Em C G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,
D/F# F Dsus2/E
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
Em Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7
If your love were taken from me
Em Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7
Every light that's bright would soon grow dim.

It would be as dark as the world before Colombus.

Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the
Dsus2/E
Brim.
G D/F# Em C G
Those men who lust for land and for riches strange and new,
D/F# Em C G
All those trinkets of desire, oh they never will have you.
D/F# Em C G
And they'll never know the gold or the copper in your hair,
D/F# F Dsus2/E
How could they weigh the worth of you so rare.
