                    G             A
If I told you I'd travel through time
         G          A         D
So the stars would align for you
                       G         A
Would you think I was out of my mind?
        G             A        D
Left a sign down the line for you
                      G            A
'Cause I wait in the rain by the tracks
          G                A        Bm
'Til the last train comes back with you
        Em               G        A   D
Love is nothing but ordinary without you

Chorus:
                    A
And I will be your parachute
          G                  D
When the wind takes you too high
                       A
Yeah, I would be your sanctuary
      G               D  Bm
When rivers start to rise

If you're lost, I would light up the sky
Search the earth far and wide for you
I would crawl to the tall grass for miles
Across enemy lines for you
And if your sense of hope self-destructs
Know I'll never give up on you
Love is nothing but ordinary without you

Chorus:
'Cause I will be your parachute
When the wind takes you too high
Yeah, I would be your sanctuary
When rivers start to rise

                       G                         D
I'll never leave you standing here alone in the dark
                       G                        Bm
I'll never leave you standing here alone in the dark
                     Em      F#        G          A       Bm
I'll always shine a lantern from this lighthouse to your heart

     G                   Bm
And nothing can come between (Between)
         D             G
Between our limitless love
                       Bm
Imagine that you could see (Could see)
  D                   G
Beyond the oceans of love
                        Bm
And nothing can come between (Between)
         D              G
Between my arms around yours
       Em                 G
This promise will always be
 A    Em                 G A
Your heaven on earth to me
Em D  G
Oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
I will be your parachute
When the wind takes you too high
Yeah, I would be your sanctuary
When rivers start to rise

I'll never leave you standing here alone in the dark
I'll never leave you standing here alone in the dark
I'll always shine a lantern from this lighthouse to your heart
You'll always have an anchor so we'll never drift apart
