A
Let me hold you for the day and
                       F#m D
let you know that it's okay
A
Give you all the love and peace
                         F#m D
that you usually send my way
A                                             F#m
And when it's dark for you, don't know what to do
                             D
Just know that you're my light
A
Maybe you can find some strength
                          F#m    D
in knowing, that we'll be alright

Chorus:
A                      F#m
When my world is caving
                      D
Baby, you're my safe haven
A                             F#m
And when it all comes crashing
                A
I remember you saying
         A
If you show me, then I'll show you
          F#m                       D
All the things that make me wanna know you
A                       F#m
And when my world is caving
                 D         A
Baby, you're my safe haven
                F#m        D
Baby, you're my safe haven

Remember when you told me its the little
things that hurt everyday
And I responded with a little smile and nodded
it away
Well I get it now 'cause it's your scrunched
eyebrows
That bring me to tomorrow
All the little things about you that make me forget
All my sorrow

Chorus:
When the world is caving,
baby you're my safe haven
And when it all comes crashing
I remember you saying
If you show me, then I'll show you
All the things that make me wanna know you
And when the world is caving
baby you're my safe haven
You're my safe haven

D         A
And When I'm with you
        F#m
I stop looking for heaven
D          A
'Cause I found a piece of it
      F#m
Wrapped up in your presence
  D       A                  F#m
Oh, with you and I there is love so divine
D      A
On my darkest days
        F#m
I know you'll be my shine

Chorus:
When the world is caving, baby
you're my safe haven
And when it all comes crashing
I remember you laughing
When the world is caving, baby
you're my safe haven
And when it all comes crashing
I remember you saying
If you show me, then I'll show you
All the things that make me wanna know you
And when the world is caving baby
you're my safe haven
Baby, you're my safe haven
Baby, you're my safe haven
Baby, you're my safe haven
