Chords

[Intro] F#m F#m [Verse 1]
   F#m            D        Bm       F#m
I woke up and the world outside was dark

       D       Bm       F#m
All so quiet before the dawn

              Bm                 C#m
Opened up the door and walked outside

     A         A/A#
The ground was cold

F#m                 D       E       F#m
  I walked until I couldn't walk anymore

     D         Bm    F#m
To a place I'd never been

                     D       E      C#m
There was something stirring in the air

    A       A/A#  C#m         A
In front of me,       I could see
[Chorus 1]
          E
More than this

          A
More than this

        D         E
So much more than this

          D                   E
There is something else there

     D            E           F#m
When all that you had has all gone

              D
And more than this

   E
I stand

        D            E
Feeling so connected

    D       E
And I'm all there

              F#m
Right next to you
[Musical Interlude] F#m [Verse 2]
   F#m            D        Bm     F#m
It started when I saw the ship go down

             D      E      F#m
I saw them struggle in the sea

                 D        E    C#m
And suddenly the picture disappears

    D       Bm
In front of me

F#m                     D       Bm   F#m
  Now we're busy making all our busy plans

        D      E        F#m
On foundations build to last

                     D            E    C#m
But nothing fades as fast as the future

             A              A/A# C#m              A
And nothing clings like the past,    until we can see
[Chorus 2]
          E
More than this

          A
More than this

        D         E
So much more than this

          D                   E
There is something out there

D         E
More than this

            F#m
It's coming through

              D
And more than this

   E              D             E
I stand alone and so connected

    D       E
And I'm all there

              F#m
Right next to you
[Bridge]
             D
Oh then it's alright

          E          A/C#              F#m
When with every day another bit falls away

                    D
Oh but it’s still alright, alright, alright

         E              C#m              F#m
And like words together we can make some sense
[Chorus 3]
     D         E
Much more than this

       D         E
Way beyond imagination

     D         E
Much more than this

           F#m
Beyond the stars

        D        E
With my head so full

    D                E
So full of fractured pictures

    D        E
And I'm all there

              F#m
Right next to you
[Chorus 4]
        D         E
So much more than this

          D                   E
There is something else there

     D            E           F#m
When all that you had has all gone

              D
And more than this

     E
I’m alone

        D            E
Feeling so connected

 D       E
I'm all there

              F#m
Right next to you
[Ending]
          D      E
More than this

          D      E
More than this

          D      E
More than this

          F#m
More than this

          D      E
More than this

          D      E
More than this, Ooohhh

          D                E
More than this, more than this

          F#m
More than this

          D      E
More than this, ooohhh

          D      E
More than this, ooohhh

          D      E
More than this, ooohhh

          F#m
More than this
[Outro] F#m F#m F#m F#m
