When your heart’s a mess

I’ll be (Am)here giv ing it my (Bb)best shot, ba by, your love’s got all that I need.

(Am)Here, cry ing from the (Bb)roof tops, noth ing can stop us if we be lieve.

(Bb)Here, giv ing it my (F)best shot, ba by, I find that we can be free

when you’re (Bb)here,

here

with me.

When your sky is dark

and the earth is shak ing your bed.

Your hope is at its end,

you just need

one friend.

I’ll be Mmm.

When you can’t find your way and all a round you wa ter’s deep and grey.

The stars fall from a bove and you’re bare ly hold ing on, my love, on my love.

Giv ing it my (Bb)best shot, ba by, your love’s got all that I need.

(Am)Here, cry ing from the (Bb)roof tops, noth ing can stop us if we be lieve.

(Bb)Here, giv ing it my (F)best shot, ba by, I find that we can be free

when you’re (Bb)here,
