B                  C#m7   B/D#   E
I've done a lot of living in my life
C#m                F#                B
Chased my share of rainbows in the sky
B                   C#m      B/D#      E
Before I stopped to ask the question why
C#m7                F#            G#m
I've fallen out of love too many times

    D#m     E        D#m      E
But now, I see, the possibilities
   F#                F#7
Of how my life could be at all

Chorus:
B         C#m   B/D#     E
From any other love I'd walk away
C#m      F#       B         F#
Love is temporary. I would say
B        C#m       B/D#  E
Now each night I find a reason to stay
C#m              F#               B
With you there's always brighter days

I've broken a heart, a heart or two
I've let the curtain fall I guess, It's true
The thought of something borrowed
Something blue
Was something that I never could pursue

But now you're here
My doubt has disappeared
The clouds are gone, It's clear

Chorus

C#m         G#m                      F#/A#
Even on the coldest nights (brighter day)
              B
Even when the sun won't shine
E                    B
It's sweeter in the morning time
       A                   F#
Just knowing that you're there (that you there!)

Chorus - x2
