G#m F# E I don't have to leave anymore C#m B E What I have is right here Spend my nights and days before Searching the world for what's right here Underneath and unexplored Islands and cities I have looked Here I saw Something I couldn't overlook Chorus: E I am yours now G#m So now I don't ever have to leave B I've been found out C#m E So now I'll never explore That bridge is on fire Back to where I've been I'm froze by desire No need to leave Where would I be If this were to go under? That's a risk I'd take I'm froze by desire As if a choice I'd make Chorus: And I am yours now So now I don't ever have to leave I've been found now 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 now (been found now) So now I'll never explore So now I'll never explore You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
