Gadd9
Heart beats fast

           D/F#
Colors and promises

          Bm7
How to be brave?

          A/C#      D    Gadd9
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

                  D/F#
But watching you stand alone

          Bm7
All of my doubt

         A/C#  D       Em7
Suddenly goes away somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm7  A
One step closer
[Chorus]
D                               A/C#
I have died every night waiting for you

Bm7                              A
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you

      G
For a thousand years

I'd love you for a thousand more

Gadd9
Time stands still

          D/F#
Beauty in all she is

          Bm7
I will be brave

           A    D
I will not let anything

Gadd9
Take away

                   D/F#
What's standing in front of me

      Bm7
Every breath

      A        D       Em7
Every hour has come to this
