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

A E Bm
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
D A E Bm D
keep on pulling me out...out..
A
Look at my life and look at my face,
E Bm D
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
A E
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
Bm D
and listen to your heart beat...
A E Bm D
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
