             F                 A#    Am   Gm   F  C
If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you
           F                  A#    Am   Gm   F  C
I think I might give up everything, just ask me to
Dm               A#                   F               C
Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Dm                 A#            F  C
Right now I'm completely defenceless

Chorus:
              A#  F        C          Dm
For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart
                 A#  F      C             Dm
For when you're lonely and forget who you are
             A#      F   C#dim     Dm
I'm missing half of me when we're apart
         A#   F                A# F
Now you know me, for your eyes only
              A# F
For your eyes only

I've got scars even though they can't always be seen
And pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing
Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Right now I'm completely defenceless

Chorus

Dm               A#              F              C#dim
I can feel your heart inside of mine (I feel it, I feel it)
Dm        A#         F              C#dim
I'm going out of my mind (I feel it, I feel it)
Dm                  A#      F
Know that I'm just wasting time
C#dim A#
And   I
                     F        C
Hope that you don't run from me

Chorus

       C          Dm
I'll show you my heart
                 A#  F
For when you're lonely
     C             Dm
And forget who you are
             A#      F  C#dim      Dm
I'm missing half of me when we're apart
         A#   F                A# F
Now you know me, for your eyes only
              A# F
For your eyes only
              A# F
For your eyes only
