Em
So there you are
C D
I’ve been searching for so long
Em
And here you are
G C
Feels like a trick on my senses
D Em
How I wish for you to carry me
C
Far away from harm
G
And to ensure that all
D Em
All we left is still buried deep
C D
So that our hearts will endure

Em
So here we are
C D
I understand our intentions are different
Em
It's no one's fault
G C
But there are light years in between us
D Em
How I wish that we still feel the same
C
That we did never change
G D
And that we share tomorrow
D Em
No time enough to mend our ways
C
Without our hearts being torn
Em D
I begged until my knees were sore
C Em
I tried so much more than you
Em G C
You never heard my words and I felt
D Em
I was never enough for you
Em D
And here we stand heartbroken now?
C Em
We lost our way, lost somehow
G C
And there is no hate, I might still love
D
