I never thought I would fall asleep tonight

I never thought that my arms could reach so high
    F               G
But now and then we find
                                        F
We're walking and we're talking for the very first time

   F               G
So roll the stone away
                                 F
I knew my death was coming but I wasn't afraid
  Am                  G           C
A thousand words that no one ever knew
    Am             G           C
Are filling up the pages of my book

Verse 3:
  F                                    C
I never thought I'd be standing here today
    F                                            C
I never thought that those thoughts would drift away
       F                 G
Like a million grains of sand
                                           F
They're slipping through the fingers of my open hand
  Am                G              C
A thousands stars reflected in the sea
      Am               G              C
And a million drops of rain fall over me
    Am             G                 C
And all the colors bleed outside the lines
      Am               G                   C
And I never thought my thoughts would be alright
        Am               G                   C
Yeah, I never thought my thoughts would be alright
