[Verse 1]
AWhen you found me, in that dungeon
EBright but tired of the punches
AOh that sweetheart, you were always Emine
AHide beneath the forest branches
EDo your dance, take some chances
AOh the sky has never looked so Eblue before

Oh and C#mI reach Eout to you

ACall out my name I will find you, Eif you’re reeling I will find you
AYour burdens lifted now they are Emine, oh mine darling
AStand up tall and know I'll champion
EAll those things locked in your dungeon
ANothing you could say could ever Emake me flinch
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh and C#mI reach Eout to you
C#mI reach oEut to you
[Chorus] 
AYou’re bright as fire, I hope you know
