[VERSE:]
We D5/Gcarried on unnoticed, thinking that
All dream were ours for the tDaking
And D5/Gout of that we found ourselves back
At the start of it all
So scarred and Dincomplete
Only D5/Gnow I've come to this moment in my life
Fitting pieces to a puzzle with no Dregrets
But if I had just one chance left
[PRECHORUS:]
I'd D5/Ghold on to it close
With what lBmittle cAonfidence I have
And D5/Gmake no mistakes
As your lBmife's surely aAbout to chD5/Gange for the better half
Now oBmn your mark, gAet set, clock starts to D5/Gcount
'Cause boy, Bmeverything's aAbout to go Ddown
[CHORUS:]
So sD5/Gleep tight, little EmAtlas
'Cause when your Ddaddy goes off just you kD5/Gnow
That you're the Bmweight of his anchor,
The Alove that is guiding him hD5/Gome,
The love that's guiding him hDome (ooh, ooh, ooh)
[VERSE:]
Oh, I've D5/Ghad my share of leaving this retreat,
But never did it once feel anythinDg like you, you see
And if there's oD5/Gne good thing that comes from my away
It's that you won't be anything like Dme
And so better for it you will be
[CHORUS]
So sD5/Gleep tight, little AEmtlas
'Cause when your dDaddy goes off just you kD5/Gnow
That you're the wBmeight of his anchor,
The Alove that is guiding him Dhome,
The love that's guiding him D5/Ghome,
The love that's guiding him Dhome, {ooh's begin}
The love that's guiding him D5/Ghome,
The love that's guiding him Dhome
[CHORUS]
So D5/Gsleep tight, little EmAtlas
'Cause when your Ddaddy goes off just you kD5/Gnow
That you're the Bmweight of his anchor,
The Alove that is guiding him hD5/Gome,
[CHORUS]
So sD5/Gleep tight, little EmAtlas
'Cause when your dDaddy goes off, 'cause when your dD5/Gaddy goes off
You're the Bmweight of his anchor,
The lAove that is guiding him hDome
[OUTRO:]
There's no rDunning away from what's been here
    D5/GWill you sink with the ship or will you burn it Bmdown?
Now give us the man that you've been hiding
'Cause tD5/Ghis is your, this is your life now
This is your life now
There's no Drunning away from what's been here (There's no running away)

And so better for it you will be
