 BAmegins to uDnravel and I Gfeel like I'm falling Eapart
 Holding Gyou Aholds me tDogeDsus2therD  
[Verse 2]
 You know life's a freight Dliner on a runaway Atrack
 But I'll take the ride Bmknowing that you'll bring me Gback
 No fates too uDncertain no distance too Afar
 As Emlong as your here in my Garms
[Chorus]
