Because You (lived)
View chords used in this chart
D E F#m
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
Am F G
I've been looking for the answer somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
C G
But now I know what I didn't know
D E F#m
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
F#m D E
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
D E F#m
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Am F E
Someone who was there when all my hopes fell
C G
I wanna fly looking in your eyes
D E F#m
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
F#m D E
My world has everything I need to survive
D E F#m
Because you live
D E F#m
I live x2
Bridge F# E F# E
A E
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
{Chorus}
Bridge F# E F# E
{Chorus 2x}
