intro: Am G F E7 (2 times)


                      Am           G        F
Well you were waiting for me, you saw me, adored me
                E
As I wish the whole world would
                 Am         G          F
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
                         E
For all the things you thought you could
                         Am            G           F
Yeah you would lick the tears from my eyes when I cried
                     E
Oh how I missed you when I was gone
                Am         G            F             E
Hurt me so to leave you deceive you I needed you, I believed in you


   C   Gadd11                  Am
Oh I I never meant to let you down

I'll wait with the stake in my heart

I never meant to put you down
     Fm7       E7        C             
I'm trying not to fall apart

                   Am         G            F
Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches
                   E
Money could never buy what you gave
                        Am          G           F
And though my heart is aching and breaking I'm making
                      E
The most of what you send my way
                    Am          G           F
Now I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told you
          E
See I am coming back for you
                    Am      G        F       
Yeah I know we will be ok every day the sun
     E
Shines a little brighter

We'll reunite oh we'll set alight
     F                      G    Ab
