[Intro]

G   D/F#* Em7   Dsus4* Cadd9   Em7* G  D  

[Verse 1]

Cadd9
Heartbeats fast
           G 
Colors and promises 
          Em7
How to be brave 
          Dsus4     D/F# Cadd9
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall 
                 G
But watching you stand alone
          Em7            Dsus4 G        A7sus4
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow 
         Em7  D 
One step clo--ser 


[Chorus]

G                    Dsus4   D/F#
I have died everyday waiting for you
Em7                     Dsus4  D/F# 
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 
      Cadd9
For a thousand years 
                 Dsus4     D/F#  
I love you for a thousand more 

Cadd9    


[Verse 2]

Cadd9
Time stands still
          G
Beauty in all she is 
          Em7  
I will be brave
           Dsus4 G      Cadd9
I will not let anything take away 
                   G
What's standing in front of me 
      Em7
Every breath           [x02033]
      Dsus4    G        A7sus4
Every hour has come to this 
         Em7 D             
One step closer
 

[Chorus]

G                    Dsus4   D/F#
I have died everyday waiting for you
Em7                     Dsus4  D/F# 
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 
      Cadd9
For a thousand years 
                 Dsus4     D/F#
I love you for a thousand more 


[Bridge]

G                        Dsus4   D/F#
And all along I believed I would find you
Em7                           
Time has brought your heart to me 
Dsus4  D/F#            Cadd9
I have loved you for a thousand years 
                    Dsus4    D
I'll love you for a thousand more

                    [x02033]

One step clo--ser
         Em7  D*
One step clo--ser 


[Chorus]

I have died everyday waiting for you
