Lost 
     G               D 
My heart is hard as stone

On my own, alone, I carry it home 
Em 
Gone

I used to waste the days, 
 C      Em       G            D             C 
So distraught, I thought, I'm changing my ways

The start of something new 
C         Em         G          D        C 
Is what I find, when I'm just looking at you 

Em 
Lift 
     G               D 
You lift me off the ground, 
 C               Em 
Keep holding my hand 
       G          D        C 
I won't bend or even look down 

C            C 
Don't look down! 
C           D 
Don't look down! 

    G 
You save me
