verse 1: 
A 
The world reflected in your eyes, all that I can see. 
Walls without windows, no floor beneath your feet. 
    E       D        A 
I'm always home, inside. 
A 
You drew a line to keep me out, and built those barricades. 
But I would use my arms to lift you, past the walls you made. 
            E        D    A/C# (F# E) 
I'm always home, inside. 


Pre-Chorus 
D       E     D          D   E   D/F#     
Tides will change, rising waves, ooh,  


A                                     D   E D/F#  
I'll carry you, carry me, it’s all I need.           
                                     (All I need)     
A                                                  D      E  D/F#    
All the things you change about yourself, I would keep.  
                                                  (I would keep) 
A               D  E  D/F#  E/G# 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.  
A               D  E  D/F#  E/G# 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. (2x) 
   D                E         D/F#      A 
I wish you could see what you are...to me 


verse 2: 
A 
We’ve come this far together and much further we will go,  
You and I, our hearts are tied, the only truth we know,  
    E      D        A 
I'm always home, inside. 

Pre-Chorus 2: 
D       E     D          D   E   D/F#     
Times will change, I will stay, oh
