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


VERSE 2 
D         Em7                 Cm7     G          
 I was searchin' for a place to go,  

D              Em7               Cm7             G 
 somewhere to rest my head I'm tired of being alone 
     D           Em7                  
And if there’s room for me inside your bed 
 Cm7                    G 
Just keep me warm, and don't forget  
D                   Em7               Cm7                  G 
 That life is sweet, so no regrets, and let's not sleep alone 
D                   Em7               Cm7                  G 
Yeah, life is sweet, so no regrets, and let's not sleep alone 



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