Am                      G
Hey there, look in the mirror
F                         C                 G
Are you afraid you might see me looking at you
Am                   G
Waiting, waiting at windows
         F
Oh it's me that you need
           C                      G
Yes, it's me and I'm waiting for you

F             C     G                  C
But I remain silent. Oh I won't say a word
F               C               G             G7
I leave you to realise I'm the light in your world

Chorus:
          C                         G/B                         Am
And it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me that you're needing
      F                         C                        G
It's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me that you need
          C                         G/B                  Am
Yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me if you want to be living
        F                       C             G           C
I'm the one who's forgiving, admit that it's me that you need

Watching, watching the swallows fly
It all means the same
Just like them
You can fly home again
But don't, no don't forget yesterday
Pride is an ugly word girl
And you still know my name

But I remain silent
Oh I won't say a word
I leave you to realise I'm the light in your world

Chorus

        C                       G             F           C   F
I'm the one who's forgiving, admit that it's me that you need
        C                       G             F           C   F
I'm the one who's forgiving, admit that it's me that you need
        C                       G             F           C
I'm the one who's forgiving, admit that it's me that you need
