C                          F         C
I've been waiting for the tides to change
         F        C           G
For the waves to send you my way
C                          F   C
I see you darling but you pixilate
         F       C          G
It gets hard to take these days

         C              F   C          F
But we’ll hold the line, I won't let go
       C                   G                          C
'Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
                F
And I don't mind
        C          F
'Cause we both know
      C                   G                         G
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home

Chorus:
             Am                    F                       C   G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down

I remember happy wasted days
Summer's golden haze in our eyes
Lifting you above the breaking waves
Memories floating back to my mind

You said hold the line, I won't let go
’Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
And I don't mind
’Cause we both know
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home

Chorus:
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                        F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C  G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am                     F                    C   G
It's like when you're far away from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am                    F                       C   G
Because when I’m in a room with you that missing piece is found

F                     C             G
I won't waste a minute when you're here
           G                  F
And we're finally in the clear
              C             G
When every day is like the last
                G
I just keeping holding fast

Chorus:
Because when I'm in a room with you
That missing piece is found
You know when you're by my side, darling
Nothing can bring us down
It's like when you're far away from me
I get lost in the crowd
Because when I'm in a room with you
That missing piece is found
