[Intro] Em D C D C G 2x [Verse1]
Em       D                 C           
  I wanna be there when the voices in your head

D           C                G
  Are loud enough to make you  lose your mind

Em       D               C     
Just the same when you're dominating the day

D        C              G
 I wanna be the one who's by your side
[Pre-Chorus]
Em       D                 C           
You know my love is not the jealous type

D           C       G
  It doesn't matter if we win or lose

Em        D       C     
  I could stay or I could come
No matter where you're coming from
D       C             G         
 I could be the one to let you choose
[Chorus]

Just like the banks to the river

G                C       G               Em
(ooh) And if you ever fe-el like you are not enough

I'm gonna break all your mirrors

To make the truth a little clearer

[Verse 2]
Em       D                 C           
  You are beautiful and wild at every turn

D      C      G
  Who am I to take control of that?

Em       D         C         
  Everybody needs a voice they can follow

D        C             G
  When the water and the winds get bad
[Pre-Chorus]
Em       D                 C          
  You know my love is not the jealous type

D      C      G
  And it don't matter if we win or lose

Em       D         C         
  I could push or I could pull

(C)                    
  No matter what you're trying to do

D        C             G
  As long as I can flow along with you
[Chorus]

   But you don't have to do it all by yourself

  You need somewhere to rest your bones
