A Thousand Years chords by Christina Perri

Guitar chords with lyrics

You can pluck the Intro and Verse 1 if you like- just simple plucking is what is done on
the track, but sounds just as good when strummed :)

CAPO 1

INTRO:

A, F#m, Bm, D

VERSE 1:

A
Heartbeats fast
             F#m
Colours and promises
           Bm
How to be brave
                         D
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
A
But watching you stand alone
           F#m                      Bm
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
          D    E
One step closer


CHORUS:
A
I have died everyday waiting for you
F#m
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    Bm
For a thousand years
                 D        E
I love you for a thousand more


VERSE 2:
A
Time stands still
          F#m
Beauty in all she is
          Bm
I will be brave
                        D
I will not let anything take away
                   A
What's standing in front of me
      F#m
Every breath
      Bm               D
Every hour has come to this
         F#m   E
One step closer

A
I have died everyday waiting for you
F#m
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    Bm
For a thousand years
                 D        E
I love you for a thousand more
A
And all along I believed I would find you
F#m
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
    Bm
For a thousand years
                 D        E
I love you for a thousand more

A, F#m, Bm, D, E

A        F#m    E
