[Verse 1]
BmYou could always see yourself in Dme
BmA brand new way to live vicariousDly
BmI wanted to show you the world through my Deyes
But you had to Bmlet me go, just let me go so I could live my liDfe
[Chorus]
GWe used to look at the stars, and dream of the Adays we would find something more
Somewhere along the Gway, the smile left your face and life Aset in
AIt changed everything
GWe used to look at the stars, and dream of the Adays we would find something more
Somewhere along the Gway the smile left your face, as your Aeyes fell
AThe light that once shined slowly dimmed
Bm D Bm D
[Verse 2]
BmI wandered from the path that you Dchose for me
(I said I'd never let you go, but I had to)
I Bmfelt your hand slip away, as my Deyes opened to see
(I didn't want to paralyze the thoughts in your head)
All the bBmeauty in the pleasure
(Search for what you've wanted)
And all the Dthings that I had missed
(don't let it slip from your hands)
BmIn a moment I was caught up in the Dworld
(With everything that she offered me)
[Chorus]
GWe used to look at the stars, and dream of the Adays we would find something more
Somewhere along the Gway, the smile left your face as your eAyes fell
AIt changed everything
GYou held me close in your arms, promised me you'd Alove me no matter what I would become
It's your Ggrace I feel everywhere pushing me Ainto the unknown that I fear
[Bridge]
You played it Dsafe so the ones you F#mloved could have everythGing
You gave Bmyourself when there was nothing Aleft
Even when the Dsky was falling F#mdown you covered me inGstead
You gave Bmyourself when there was Anothing left
Bm D
[Outro]
BmYou could always see yourself in Dme
