VERSE 2: (the same chords as verse 1)
-------------------------------------
Something in me was broken
And my thoughts were bitter and ill
My world was blown open
And I couldn&#8217;t see and i couldn&#8217;t feel
You said be yourself and think of me
And you'll know there's nothing to fear
Let's make plans together
It's time to move on and get out of here
BRIDGE:

And your voice came out of nowhere
Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together 
And then we can live wherever we land
BRIDGE:

Don&#8217;t know what i would do
Will you see the story through
It's a cruel world
And i need somewhere to hide
The time goes by and your still on my side

Waiting
Searching
Turning over
Running round in circles
And i've worn myself out
Hoping that we'll always be together
yeah we'll always be together
