[Bridge]
Gm
Well look at my life and look at my face,
Gm D#
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
Gm
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
Gm D#
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
Gm
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
Gm D#
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
Gm
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
D# F
see your face, I see your hand, reaching out, and I yell to you and I say:
[Chorus]
*guitar break in acoustic version(otherwise same as above)*
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in
the quicksand's pulling me down.
A# F Cm
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
D#
the quicksand's pulling me down
A# F Cm
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
D#
the quicksand's pulling me down
A# F Cm
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
D# A# F Cm D#
keep on pulling me out...out..
A#
Look at my life and look at my face,
F Cm D#
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
A# F
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
Cm D#
and listen to your heart beat...
A# F Cm D#
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
