D               G            Bm              A
One day you'll come into my world and say it all
D              G          Bm                A
You say we'll be together even when you're lost
D               G                  Bm               A
One day you'll say these words I thought but never said
D              G           Bm             A D
You say we're better off together in our bed

Chorus:
            G
I want you here with me
           Bm
Like how I pictured it
            A                    D
So I don't have to keep imagining
               G
Come on, jump out at me
               Bm
Come on, bring everything
           A
Is it too much to ask for something great?

The script was written and I could not change a thing
I want to rip it all to shreds and start again
One day I'll come into your world and get it right
I'll say we're better off together here tonight

Chorus - x2

I want you here with me
like how I pictured it
Is it too much to ask for something great?

 D            G
You're all I want
Bm            A
So much it's hurting
D              G
You''re all I want
Bm            A     D
So much it's hurting
