Verse
D F#m E D
I'll wait at the gates, or is it a fortress?
D F#m E D
I'm calling the blame, just let me own it.
D F#m E
There are things I thought I could rise above,
D F#m E
And all the things I thought I was better than,
D F#m E
And a coward might call it a conscience,
D F#m E
And a liar might call it the truth
D F#m E
Nothing could ever make me more frightened,
D F#m E
Than the thought of hurting you.
Pre-Chorus
D E
Watching you float across the isle of sand,
F#m
Before the fire works began I close my eyes,
A D
And wrap my arms around you.
E
Do you remember what I whispered love?
F#m A
Do you remember what I whispered, love?
Chorus
D E
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be.
F#m A
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone
D
The way I loved you.
Verse

And all the things I thought I could rise above, I could not
D F#m E D
and all the things I thought I was better than, I am not.
D F#m E
And a coward might call it a conscience,

And a liar might call it the truth

Than the thought of hurting you, how could I hurt you?

Watching you float across the isle of sand,

Do you remember what I whispered love?

Do you remember what I whispered, love?

This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be.

The way I love you.

I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone

The way I loved you, The way I love you.

The way I love you.
