Intro: 

D G 
Ooh-ooh 
La-Da-Da Da-Da 

Verse: 

    D                               G 
I never knew I lost ya till I found ya 
      D                                   G 
And I never guessed how close you were to me 
                 Em  
And now I wanna throw my arms around ya 
                  G 
Tell a thousand tales that will astound ya 
            Em                                  G 
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be 
           A 
Don't you see 

Chorus 
             D 
I'm on your side 
                 G 
Let's take this ride 
       D  
And together we're facing the world 
        G   
Doing things nobody's done before 
         Em  
And the great divide 
         G        A 
Doesn't seem so wi-de anymore 

D G 
Naaaa 

Verse: 

   D                                      G 
I can't recall what life was like without ya 
        D                                 G 
Now it feels as though we've never been apart 
               Em 
Tell me every tiny thing about ya 
              G 
Anything you say I'll never doubt you 
                    Em 
We're meant to be together 
                     G 
I can feel it in my heart 
               A 
Its just the start 

(Chorus) 

Bridge:
 
         Am                              F 
And if you'll be there beside me when I falter 
                Am                                G 
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride 
G            D 
I'm on your side 

            G  
The great divide 
                    D-G 
It doesn't seem so wide 

             D 
I'm on your side 
                 G 
Let's take this ride 
       D   
And together we're facing the world 
        G 
Doing things nobody's done before 
         Em 
And the great divide 
          G            Am 
Doesn't seem so wide anymore...
