CYou were there for the waking, Gmy soul was sleeping
AmYou woke me shaking Gevery piece of me
CYou took me under, Geyes wide to you with wAmonder
Built me a heart strong, cGarry me on

AmWe find light dEmown every road we take, Gfeet never seem to bDreak
AmUnable to fEmeel unstable and you caGrry me all the waDy (all the way)

[Intro]

Am Em G D

(x2)

[Verse]

Am Em G D

I was just barely holding on trying to keep on

Am Em G D

I saw no signs of anyone, box built around the sun

Am Em G D

I thought to sleep the day away but dreams were as dark as the night's way

Am Em G D

How did you hear the drop of my tear you just saw the fear

[Chorus]

C G

You were there for the waking, my soul was sleeping

Am G

You woke me shaking every piece of me

C G Am

You took me under, eyes wide to you with wonder

Built me a heart strong, carry me on

[Verse]

Am Em G D

We find light down every road we take, feet never seem to break

Am Em G D

Unable to feel unstable and you carry me all the way (all the way)

Am Em G

I see comfort in your ways, keeping me safe for the days

D D

oh oh, oh oh

Am G D D

Your presence gives me joy alone, never do I face the world alone (alone)

[Chorus]

C G

You were there for the waking, my soul was sleeping

You woke me shaking every piece of me

C G Am

You took me under, eyes wide to you with wonder

Built me a heart strong, carry me on and on

[Interlude]

Am Em G D

[Bridge]

Put away the days,

when no matter was what I chased,

Am G

when love had no space to live

This world we built,

is long passed failed

Am G

my hands cannot hold on to a shield

C G

my hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield

Am G

my hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield

C G

opened up what I had sealed, sealed

Am G

opened up what I had sealed, sealed

[Chorus]

C G

You were there for the waking, my soul was sleeping

Am G

You woke me shaking every piece of me

C G Am

You took me under, eyes wide to you with wonder

Built me a heart strong, carry me on and on
