VERSE 1
D Em7 Cm7 G
I was waiting on the clouds to break
D Em7 Cm7 G
I was praying for a chance to take
D Em7
and every sleepless night that I have known
Cm7 G
has brought me here and so I hope
D Em7 Cm7 G
that times will change, and I'll feel safe and you won't go away
D Em7 Cm7 G
yeah, times will change, and I'll feel safe and you won't go
away
Cm7 D G
And there is a story here, I feel it
Cm7 D G
I've searched for something real, and I believe this
Cm7 D G
You found me on the ground where I was bleedin'
Cm7
and you came around
D Em7 Cm7 G
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
D Em7 Cm7 G
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless,
D Em7 Cm7
here you are, you see my scars, but still you're dryin' these

eyes
D Em7 Cm7 G
cause you are my, you are my, you are my reason why

Post Chorus
Em7 D G
And what would you say, if I told you my secrets
Cm7
If I sang you my song
Em7 G Cm7
Would you walk away, or would you hold on
D Em7 Cm7 G
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
D Em7 Cm7 G
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless
D Em7 Cm7
But here you are, you see my scars, and you're still dryin'
G
these eyes
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless
But here you are, you see my scars, and you're still dryin' these eyes
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
You are my , you are my, you are my reason why
