                Cm     A#     G#
I don't have to leave anymore
     Fm     D#       G#
What I have is right here
                    Cm   A#     G#
Spend my nights and days before
           Fm            D#           G#
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

Chorus:
     G#
I am yours now
               Cm            C#
So now I don't ever have to leave
           G#
I've been found out
             Cm      C#
So now I'll never explore
               Cm A#
See what I've done
      G#           Fm
That bridge is on fire
               D#        G# Cm A#
Going back to where I've been
      G#           Fm
I'm froze by desire
    D#      G#
No need to leave

Where would I be
If this were to go under?
It's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

Chorus:
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
I am yours now (I am yours now)
So now I don't ever have to leave
(Ever have to leave)
I've been found out (I've been found out)
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done
