E 
When you throw your arms around me 
A 
You know that I'll be there 
E 
â??Till you were lost in the way you found me 
A 
You know that I'll be there 

   Dâ?­m                     D 
We all need someone just to keep hanging on 
     A                  B          E 
It's enough to hold you here in my arms 

                    A                      D 
The light that we share gonna light up the sky 
              E                   F#m D 
I sit and I  stare as if I don't care 
              A                    D 
It's just the child in me won't go away

I beg you to stay this is my prayer 

E                                      A 
When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way 
E 
You were the shock to the system darling 
A 
A chance for sudden sway 
   Dâ?­m               D 
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place  
A                 B             E 
But you know that I'll be there in the end 

                    A                      D 
The light that we share gonna light up the sky 
              E                   F#m D 
I sit and I  stare as if I don't care 
              A                    D 
It's just the child in me won't go away

I beg you to stay this is my prayer

I beg you to stay this is my prayer (x2)
