E Dbmin E(II) Gb9 Amaj7
[Verse 1]
E Dbmin E(II)
I have too many questions and places to go
Gb9 Amaj7
There are too many options far too many unknowns
This is why I need you
[Verse 2]
E Dbmin E(II)
And everyone talks now but no one is right
Gb9 Amaj7
There are too many armies with no one to fight
This is why I need you
[Chorus]
E6/9
'Cause you make the darkness less dark
Amaj7 Dbmin
You make the edges less sharp
E(II) Gb9
You make the winter feel warmer
E6/9
And you make my weakness less weak
Amaj7 Dbmin
You make the bottom less deep
E(II) Gb9
you make the waiting feel shorter
Dbmin E(II) E6/9
You make my crazy feel normal every time
Amaj7 Eadd9 E
You are the who. Love is the what. This is the why
E Dbmin E(II) Gb9 Amaj7
[Verse 3]
E Dbmin E(II)
There are too many problems, and no one who cares
Gb9 Amaj7
There are so many roads, and they all need repairs
This is why I need you
[Verse 4]
E Dbmin E(II)
And there's not enough chocolate. There's too many chores
Gb9 Amaj7
There are so many mountains, that I haven't explored
This is why I need you
[Chorus]
E6/9
'Cause you make the darkness less dark
Amaj7 Dbmin
You make the edges less sharp

You make the winter feel warmer
E6/9
And you make my weakness less weak

You make the bottom less deep

You make my crazy feel normal every time
Amaj7 Eadd9 E
You are the who. Love is the what. This is the why
Dbmin E(II) Gb9
'Cause you keep the ship moving forward
Dbmin E(II) E6/9
You make it easy to try
Dbmin E(II) E6/9
And you make my crazy feel normal
Amaj7 Eadd9 E
You are the who. Love is the what. This is the why
Amaj7 Eadd9 Dbmin
You are the who. Love is the what. This is the why
