Intro: C Em F C 

C         Em 
I've got a secret 
F               G 
That I think I'm ready to share 
C              Em 
It may bring us closer 
F          G 
It may be a burden to bear 

Am                     Em 
It's precious and it's real 
F                  G 
And all that I can feel 

C          G 
Is that I'm falling 
   F 
As deep as any ocean 
   G 
In ways that can't be spoken 
C   G 
I am falling 
        F 
For the millionth and the first time 
G                      C 
Ever and eternally for you 

Em F G 

C         Em 
You are a beacon 
F             G 
Revealing the places I hide 
C           Em 
You've given freedom 
F               G 
To so much that I kept inside 

Am                      Em 
And with one look in my eyes 
F             G 
It can't be a surprise 

C        G 
That I'm falling 
   F 
As deep as any ocean 
   G 
In ways that can't be spoken 
C   G 
I am falling 
        F 
For the millionth and the first time 
G                      C 
Ever and eternally for you 

Em F G 
C Em F G 

C              Em 
Now there's no darkness 
F            G 
My truth laid open and bare 
C          Em 
It's in my flesh and bones 
F              G 
Yeah it's everywhere 

C        G 
That I am falling 
   F 
As deep as any ocean 
   G 
In ways that can't be spoken 
C    G 
I am falling 
     F 
Like rays that come from heaven 
G 
Bathed in your reflection 
C    G 
I am falling 
        F 
For the millionth and the first time 
G 
Ever and eternally for you 

C Em F G
