I first held your hand
CAnd love was not a crime
In a private world where
AmYou said 'don't look doGwn'
But then I did and now you're lDost abCove me

EmSo much left to say
Trapped alone here
With my Cbest laid plans astray
Standing scared outside a Amcold church
Soul search, sGeeking some lost answer
From a DGod who lCoves me
[Chorus]
Can I turn to YoEmu in my neBmed?
CWould You take me back or waGtch me bleed?D  
Are You thEmere? There at aBmll?
And as I fCall from the person that I Amtried to be
Could You reCally love someBone like me?

All I needed was Your hDand in miCne
And we knew it all but

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time

I first held your hand

And love was not a crime

In a private world where

Am G

You said 'don't look down'

D C

But then I did and now you're lost above me

[Verse 2]

So much left to say

Trapped alone here

With my best laid plans astray

Standing scared outside a cold church

Soul search, seeking some lost answer

D C

From a God who loves me

[Chorus]

Em Bm

Can I turn to You in my need?

C G D

Would You take me back or watch me bleed?

Em Bm

Are You there? There at all?

C Am

And as I fall from the person that I tried to be

C B

Could You really love someone like me?

[Verse 3]

Once upon a time

D C

All I needed was Your hand in mine

And we knew it all but

Am G

Now I know not what I do

D C

I bow my head and turn to You

Em C Em
