(verse 1)
D Dadd9
Promise or a dare,
Bm A
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me,
D Dadd9
Staring over the edge,
Bm A
I can't tell if you'll be here for me,
G
I close my eyes and make a wish,
D
Turn out the lights and take a breath,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,
D Cadd9 G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
D Cadd9 G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
Bm A
But you were never here,
D Dadd9
I remember you said,
Bm A
Love was more then your good intentions,
G
Empty boxes on the floor,
D
Things I've never asked you for,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,
(chorus)

You were there when I needed you,

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,

You were there when I needed you,

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,

Ohhh, Ahhhh,

And I can't see the promise,

So I pray to God not holding,
