Lyrics

We were drawn from the weeds; we were brave like sol diers fall ing down un der the (Csus)pale of moon (F)light.

You were hold ing me (C5)scared, like a some one bro ken, and I could n’t tell you, but I’m (Csus)tell ing you now:

Just let me hold you while you’re (C)fall ing a part.

Just let me hold you and we’ll (C5)both fall (F)down.

Fall on me;

tell me ev ’ry thing you want me to be.

For ev er with you,

for ev er in me,

ev er the same.

We would stand in the wind.

We were free like wa ter flow ing down un der the (Csus)warmth of the (F)sun.

Now it’s cold and we’re (C5)scared, and we’ve both been shak en.

Look I at us: man, this does n’t (Csus)need to be the

Just let me hold you while you’re (C)fall ing a part.

Just let me hold you and we’ll (C5)both fall (F)love.

Fall on me;

tell me ev ’ry thing you want me to be.

For ev er with you,

for ev er in me,

ev er the same.

Call on me.

I’ll be there for you and you’ll be there for me.

For ev er it’s you,

for ev er in (C)me,

ev er the same.

You may (C5)need me there to (Dm)car ry all your weight,

but you’re no (C5)bur den, I as (Dm)sure.

You tide me (Csus)o ver

with a (Dm)warmth I’ll not for get,

but I can on ly

give you

For ev er with you,

for ev er in (C)me,

ev er

the same.
