D                A           G/B   Bm           A               G
Lying beside you here in the dark, feeling your heart beat with mine
D                   A            G/B   Bm            A         G
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere, how could our love be so blind
   Em                     Bm             A   D        A         G
We sailed on together, we drifted apart, and here you are by my side
[Chorus]
         D                F#m        G                  C9
So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say
 D                F#m        G                           C9
So here I am with open arms, hoping you'll see what your love means to me

D                  A        G/B   Bm         A             G
Living without you, living alone, this empty house seems so cold
D                   A            G/B   Bm         A         G
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near, how much I wanted you home
    Em                                Bm            A D A         G
But now that you've come back, turned night into day, I need you to stay
[Chorus]
         D                F#m        G                  C9
So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say
 D                F#m        G                           C9
So here I am with open arms, hoping you'll see what your love means to me
