plucking the strings is better than strumming it!

VERSE 1:

A
Heartbeats fast
             F#m
Colours and promises
           D
How to be brave
          E             A
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
                  F#m
But watching you stand alone
           D               E         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
    D
For a thousand years
                  E
I’ll love you for a thousand more

A-pause

Beauty in all she is

I will not let anything take away
                   F#m
What’s standing in front of me

Every breath
