[Verse 1]
G                   Em
I've seen love come and
   G             Em   G
I've seen love walk away
           Em      G
So many questions will
     Em   C
anybody stay?
G                Em
It's been a hard year, 
 G             Em   G
so many nights in tears
                 Em
All of the darkness,
  G              Em  C
 trying to fight my fears
  G            C     D
alone...so long, alone

[Chorus]
G
I don't know who I'd be
  D/F#               Em
 if I didn't know you
                          C
I'd probably fall off the edge
G
I don't know where I'd
   D/F#              Em
 go if you ever let go
                        C
So keep me held in your hands

I've started breathing The
             Em
 weight is lifted
G                   Em
You, With you it's easy,
  G                   C
 My head is finally clear
G                   Em
There's nothing missing,
 G               Em  G
when you are by my side
                  Em  G
I took the long road but
      Em   C
 now I realize..
     G          C        D
I'm home, with you, I'm homе

[Chorus]

I'd probably fall off the edge
G
I don't know where I'd
   D/F#              Em
 go if you ever let go
                        C
So keep me held in your hands

[Bridge]
           G
You're my safe place
          D/F#
My hideaway
           Em
You're my anchor
           C
My saving Grace
                   G
You're my constant
           D/F#
My steadiness
           Em
You're my shelter
   C
My oxygen
