[Verse I] C Heartbeats fast Am7 Colors and promises F How to be brave G Am7 F How can I love when I'm afraid to fall Am7 But watching you stand alone F G Am7 F All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
F Am7 G One step closer
[Chorus]
C I have died everyday waiting for you Am7 Darling don't be afraid I have loved you F Dm7 For a thousand years F G I love you for a thousand more
C -F - G x1 (Before starting 2nd verse) (may not be right but works for me)
[Verse II]
C Time stands still Am7 Beauty in all she is F I will be brave G Am7 F I will not let anything take away Am7 What's standing in front of me F Every breath G Am7 F Every hour has come to this F Am7 G One step closer..
[Chorus]
C I have died everyday waiting for you Am7 Darling don't be afraid I have loved you F Dm7 For a thousand years F G I love you for a thousand more C And all along I believed I would find you Am7 Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you F Dm7 For a thousand years F G I love you for a thousand more
[Instrumental]
C - Am7 - F - Dm7 (may not be right but works for me)
Dm7 F G One step closer Dm7 F G One step closer
C I have died everyday waiting for you Am7 Darling don't be afraid I have loved you F Dm7 For a thousand years F G I love you for a thousand more C And all along I believed I would find you Am7 Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you F Dm7 For a thousand years F G I love you for a thousand more..
