C#         C#/B                C#/A#
This is my heart, I give it to you
            C#/A                    C#
Fragile the parts, please don't you break it
           C#/B                C#/A#
Here is my soul, it's all I've got
                C#/A
It might not be much but it keeps me
  F#
Together

            E                  C#
This is my world, my soul, my heart
            A                     F#
This is my life so don't tear it apart
I'll give you my world

Chorus:
C#                               B
You're the only reason that the world is
turning 'round
    F#                               E
And you're the only reason that the sun
keeps shining down
    C#                              B
And you're the only reason I might never wanna die
    F#                                  E
And you're the only reason that you're keeping me
alive

Never give up, no matter how hard
Everything gets, I know we're worth it
We always get by through thick and thin
Right from the start you know we can do it

Here is my world, my soul, my heart
This is my life so don't tear it apart
I'll give you my world

Chorus

A            B                 C#
Keeping me alive, never wanna die
             A B                 C#
Only gonna fly, I'll give it to you

Chorus
