Amaj9 Bsus E

I remember it was later in December when we got the call

Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter from the weight of it all

When the news came, for me the hardest part of all

F#m7

Was to see you sitting there so brokenhearted

Amaj9 Bsus E

I'd forgotten how it felt to hit the bottom when you suffer pain

Amaj9 Bsus E

It was like tryin' to run a hundred miles in the pourin' rain

Amaj9 Bsus C#m7

But the truth is not even storms can kill this flame

F#m7 Eadd9/G# Aadd9 Bsus

My promise to you always remains

|CHORUS|

E F#m7

In the middle of the cold, dark night In the middle it'll be all right

Aadd9 Bsus

I will be there, I will be there

C#m7 F#7

And if pain is the ocean you are swimmin' in

If I can't pull you out, I'm divin' in

Amaj9 Bsus E

Amaj9 Bsus E

Never thought I could love anyone the way that I loved you

Amaj9 Bsus E

And if it took my life I'd fight to protect you, too

Amaj9 Bsus C#m7

But I was helpless and there was nothing I could do

So I'll just wrap my arms around you and say

|CHORUS|

I believe that God was there

E Bsus

Watching over us

I believe He heard our prayers

He cried along with us

Even when our hearts are scared

He's closer than He seems

And I can hear Him sing
