     F                     D#
Hey big shoes, once I was young like you
  Csus4                      G#
I loved like you, opened my heart like you
      F                              D#
Well don’t be scared just cos you’ve been stripped bare
    Csus4                         A#
You feel things that most people never do

Chorus:
G#                         D#
Hold my hand just like you used to do
         Gm               Cm
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving
G#                       D#
Throw it up, baby you’re all mixed up
         Gm               A#
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving

On days like this you wonder what true love is
Does it even exist, the kiss, the prince, the story for kids?
But that same big heart that right now is hurting so hard
Is the ladder you'll climb when you touch the stars

Chorus

               G#
Show me that dreamer I love
                Cm
Let me see the fire in your eyes
                A#/D
Let the moment pass, sleep a while here in my arms
    G#       A#
Cos I’m not leaving

Chorus
