A#                              D#
It's a fairytale I can't explain
        D#m                          A#
Full of words I don't know how to say
                               D#
And without a little twist of fate
   D#m
I know I'd still be searching, baby
Cm                               D#
I swear that you've been sent to save me
A#                                 G#               D# D#m
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to

Chorus:
A#                                        D# D#m
It's always been you, it's always been you
A#                                        D# D#m Cm D#
It's always been you, it's always been you
     D#m
It's always been you

And you've seen all my darkest fears
Like you've known me for a thousand years
The boy who's really underneath
All the scars and insecurities, baby
I swear that you've been sent to save me
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to

Chorus

A#                                 G#                D# D#m
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to


     D#m                  Cm D# D#m
It's always been you, yeah
It's always been you
A#                                 G#                D#
You're the only one that my heart keeps coming back to
