bear that in mind.

[Intro]
A D A D
[Verse 1]
A
I'd heard, "goodbye, goodbye"
D
Over and over, I went hollow
A
I lost my mind, my mind
D
Life was a bitter pill to swallow
A
And though I wanted affection, I was tired of rejection
D
I kicked the habit
A
Yes, I put love on the shelf and agreed with myself:
D
I'd never have it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
It's like you knew
And you came out
D
Out of nowhere and into my life
A
It took you a while
But you found me
D
Now I'm sure that I'm gonna survive
[Chorus]
A D
And it started with a hello
E D A D
Take the lead, and I will follow
E D A D
I could love you for the rest of my life
E D D C#m Bm
Don't you ever let me go-ooo-ooo
A D
And it started with a hello
E D A D
I could be your superhero
E D A D
I could love for the rest of my life
E D D C#m Bm
Don't you ever let me go-ooo-ooo
A D
[Verse 2]
A D
I was behind, behind, now I wish I had fasted forwards
A D
All of this time, this time, you have been right around the corner
A D
Next time the doctor tells me I have to swallow a pill to put it in perspective
A D
I'll tell her everything's coming up roses, shockingly better than I expected
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
Cause I was a fool for believing
D
There was no one who could change my life
A
Cause now you've arrived
You revived me
D
Now I'm sure that I'm gonna be fine
[Chorus]
A D
And it started with a hello
E D A D
Take the lead, and I will follow
E D A D
I could love you for the rest of my life

Go-ooo-ooo

Don't you ever let me go-ooo-ooo
[Bridge]

It's finally real

I found my fantasy

Remember the day

When I heard you say

Hello!

Take the lead, and I will follow

I could love you for the rest of my life
