[Intro]
G Em C D

[Verse 1]
G
We were young, we fell
 in love
And our hearts were set
 aflame
C
I don’t know what life
 is like
If I’m not next to your
 name
Em
Everything I’ve ever wanted
Everything I need
C
But the space inside 
your heart
Is gonna need more than me

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                 G   
I’m here to stay, I’ll find
          C
 a way, I know it hurts
        Am                G  
There’s no one else, I’ll go
                C
 through hell to make it work

[Chorus]
            G
Look at you go                            
The world is yours, I’ll hold
            Em
 it down at home                       
Even though I hate to be
  C
 alone
I know this is what you
       D
 gotta do
I’m happy, I’m happy
     G
 for you

G
Now and then I find myself
Gettin’ lost without you here
C
Been gone for a couple days
Tell me why it feels like years
Em
Everything I’ve ever wanted
Everything I need
D
I’m gonna be strong for you
But I wish you’d never leave

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                 G   
I’m here to stay, I’ll find

        Am                G 
There’s no one else, I’ll go
                 C
 through hell to make it work

Look at you go                             
The world is yours, I’ll hold
