[Bridge]
D#m
Well look at my life and look at my face,
D#m B
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
D#m
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
D#m B
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
D#m
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
D#m B
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
D#m
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
B C#
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,
B
the quicksand's pulling me down
F# C# G#m
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
B F# C# G#m B
keep on pulling me out...out..
F#
Look at my life and look at my face,
C# G#m B
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
F# C#
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
G#m B
and listen to your heart beat...
