verse 1
A
When you found me, in that dungeon
E
Bright but tired of the punches
A E
Oh that sweetheart, you were always mine
A
Hide beneath the forest branches
E
Do your dance, take some chances
A E
Oh the sky has never looked so blue before
Pre-Chorus
C#m E
Oh and I reach out to you
C#m E
I reach out to you

verse 2
A E
Call out my name I will find you, if you’re reeling I will find you
A E
Your burdens lifted now they are mine, oh mine darling
A
Stand up tall and know I'll champion
E
All those things locked in your dungeon
A E
Nothing you could say could ever make me flinch
Pre-Chorus
C#m E
Oh and I reach out to you
C#m E
I reach out to you
[Refrão]A
You’re bright as fire, I hope you know
G#m
You wind me up, and let me go
C#m E
I hate to see you so low
G#m
So I will sing this solo
A
My love for you, don’t ever doubt
G#m
You fill my heart so sing it out
C#m E
While we keep moving forwards

This is a song for the birds

When the darkness comes to take me

Hold me down upon awakening

Tied and bound to you

You have my soul forever

And I, I reach out to you

Oh I, I reach out to you
[Refrão]A
You’re bright as fire, I hope you know

So I will sing this solo
