 E              C#m               A
Right about now if I'd found the right words to say
     E
I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
          G
I'll be there by your side for the rest of your life
     D
Our bodies could fall off the end of the world

Something told me we'd be happy forever
I don't see how this could change any of that
I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
And lie with you on the grass above

Chorus:
         Am            G
And I'd like to change all this
         Am               G
And I'd like to wake up from this
    C
By your side

How did we ever survive for this length of time?
Living with only a care for one thing
But the light that shines from her
Whenever she's happy is worth every minute
That we've saved ourselves

Maybe there's hope in just one final second
A flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
Don't torture yourself with what we might have given
We did everything that we could ever do

Chorus - x2
