verse 1 

Em           B7                G                      Em 
  Be near my heart    Know that I will always lead you close 
Em           B7              G                              C 
  Be free my bird     If you fly take me with you where you go 

Heaven knows 

G           A7               C          D 
It's me and you      Chasing sunshine until tomorrow 
G           A7               C            D 
What will we do      If the sky cries and turns to sorrow 
Em         B7             G                 A7 
  I see us picking up  The pieces when they fall 
C               G 
Rising above it all

Em           B7                G                              Em 
  Long is the night   Like the thief comes sneakin' round our door 
Em           B7                G                              C 
  But it's alright    Come the dawn he won't come round here no more 

Then like before 
 
G           A7               C          D 
It's me and you      Chasing sunshine until tomorrow 
G           A7               C            D 
What will we do      If the sky cries and turns to sorrow 
Em         B7             G                 A7 
  I see us picking up  The pieces when they fall 
C               G 
Rising above it all
