[Intro]
C C

[Verse 1]
C                         F
I've been waiting for the tides
to change
        Am                    G
For the waves to send you my way
C                         F
I see you darling but you pixilate
        Am                  G
It gets hard to take these days

[Pre-Chorus]
         C              F
But we’ll hold the line,
               Am
I won't let go
                          G
'Cause I’ll be there when you can
                     C
finally make it home
                 F
And I don't mind
                    Am
'Cause we both know
                         G
That we'll be fine when you can
                     G
finally make it home

[Chorus]
             Am
Because when I'm in a room with
   F                       C    G
you that missing piece is found
              Am
You know when you're by my side,
        F
darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down

C                F
I remember happy wastеd days
        Am                  G
Summers golden haze in our еyes
C                     F
Lifting you above the breaking waves
         Am                   G
Memories floating back to my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

You said hold the line,
               Am
I won't let go

Cause I’ll be there when you can

finally make it home

And I don't mind

Because when I'm in a room with
   F                       C    G
you that missing piece is found

Nothing can bring us down

It's like when you're far away from
  F                    C   G
me I get lost in the crowd
             Am

[Bridge]
F                     C
I won't waste a minute
             G
when you're here
          G                    F
And we're finally in the clear
              C             G
When every day is like the last
               G
I just keeping holding fast

You know when you're by my side,
        F
darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am
It's like when you're far away
       F                    C   G
from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am
Because when I’m in a room with
   F                       C    G
you that missing piece is found
