[Intro]: C majorC D MajorD E minorEm  x2

     C majorC     D MajorD      E minorEm
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
     C majorC      D MajorD      E minorEm
It's the end of the world in my mind
      C majorC       D MajorD       E minorEm
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
A minorAm            FF    G+G
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
A minorAm             FF
I couldn't see that it was right there
C majorC          Gsus4Gsus4    G+G
But now I know what I didn't know

      D MajorD E MajorE    F# minorF#m
Because you live and breathe
            D MajorD     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
       D MajorD  E MajorE  E/G# A augmentedA     F#m7F#m7   E MajorE        Dsus2Dsus2
Because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky

    C majorC      D MajorD       E minorEm
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
     C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm
Cause of you, made it through every storm
     C majorC        D MajorD       E minorEm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
A minorAm           FF    G+G
I'm so glad I found an angel, someone
A minorAm             FF
Who was there when all my hopes fell
C majorC         Gsus4Gsus4     G+G
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

      D MajorD E MajorE    F# minorF#m
Because you live and breathe
            D MajorD     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
       D MajorD  E MajorE  E/G# A augmentedA     F#m7F#m7   E MajorE        Dsus2Dsus2
