EWhen you throw your arms around me
AYou know that I'll be there
E’Till you were lost in the way you found me
AYou know that I'll be there
   D♭m                     D
We all need someone just to keep hanging on
It's Aenough to hold you Bhere in my Earms
The light that we shAare gonna light up the Dsky
I sit and I  sEtare as if I don't cF#mareD  
It's just the Achild in me won't go Daway
I beg you to Estay this is my pF#mrayeDr
EWhen I was young I was selfish darling AI wanted my own way
EYou were the shock to the system darling
AA chance for sudden sway
   D♭m               D
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place 
ABut you know that BI'll be there Ein the end
The light that we shAare gonna light up the Dsky
I sit and I  sEtare as if I don't cF#mareD  
It's just the Achild in me won't go Daway
I beg you to Estay this is my pF#mrayeDr
E A G E
The light that we shAare gonna light up the Dsky
I sit and I  sEtare as if I don't cF#mareD  
It's just the Achild in me won't go Daway
I beg you to Estay this is my pF#mrayeDr (x2)
