[Bridge]
C#m
Well look at my life and look at my face,
C#m A
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
C#m
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
C#m A
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
C#m
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
C#m A
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
C#m
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
A B
see your face, I see your hand, reaching out, and I yell to you and I say:
[Chorus]

I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in
the quicksand's pulling me down.
E B F#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
A
the quicksand's pulling me down
E B F#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
A
the quicksand's pulling me down
E B F#m
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
A E B F#m A
keep on pulling me out...out..
E
Look at my life and look at my face,
B F#m A
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
E B
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
F#m A
and listen to your heart beat...
E B F#m A
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
