I will be [F]there for you what[G]ever comes[F] [C]
I am as [F]constant as the [G]beat of drums[F] [Am]
My love is stronger than the [F]noonday sun

Over [C]A---fri[G]ca___[C]_[Cadd9] [F] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
It's a force of nature, it's the power of need[F] [C]

But I will be patient, I will bide my time[F] [C]
I will be waiting like a mama lion[F] [C]

Between love and money, between [F]pride and sin[G]
We are just wild things under[F]neath the skin
In the [G]cradle of creation we were [F]made this way[Csus4]
Bound together 'til our [F]dying day____[C]_[Cadd9] [F] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth[F] [C]

Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me[F] [C]
