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

C G D Am C
keep on pulling me out...out..
G
Look at my life and look at my face,
D Am C
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
G D
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
Am C
and listen to your heart beat...
