Intro: C  G  C  F  (6x) 

verse 1 
               F            C 
You've been my lighthouse 
         F       C 
In every storm 
               F 
You have given shelter 
         Dm7                      G    F 
You have kept me safe and warm 
          C       F      C 
And in my darkest nights 
                    F 
You have shone your brightest lights 
           C             F 
You are my saving grace 

Darling I love you 


Instrumental: C  G  C  F  C  G  C  F  C 


verse 2 
                  F      C 
You have been the pilot 
              F     C 
Who guides me home 
                     F 
You have been the my rock 
   Em     Dm7                   G    F 
As on the seven seas I roam 
           C     F      C 
And when I was becalmed 
                      F 
You were the strength in my arms 
           C             F 
You are my saving grace 

Darling I love you

Bridge 
           F 
And when I found my back 
             Dm7           C 
Was torn and broken on the reef 
                F 
You sailed your tiny boat 
 Em                  Dm7        C        G   C 
Across the dark seas of my disbelief 


verse 3 
                  F       C 
You have been the anchor 
          F       C 
And I the chain 
                F       Em 
Straining as we hold ourselves 
  Dm7                   G    F 
Together in the rain 
                 Em   Dm7 
I have found you ever there 
   C                 F 
My constant keeper's daughter fair 
           C             F 
You are my saving grace 

Darling I love you 

Darling I love you 

Darling I love you
