Lyrics

(D)Hard to find a way to get through;

to it’s a trag e dy.

I’m (D)Pull ing at me like the stars do,

you’re like grav i ty.

E ven if the wind blows,

it makes it hard to (D)be lieve.

So How you gon na love?

How you gon na feel?

How you gon na live your life like the dream you have is real?

And (Asus)if you lost your way,

well, I will keep you safe.

We’ll o pen up all the world in side, see it come a live to night.

(Gm)I will keep you safe.

(D)Does n’t e ven mat ter to you

to see what I can see.

I’m (D)crawl ing on the floor to reach you.

I’m a wreck, you see.

When you’re far from home, now,

it makes it hard to (D)be lieve.

So how you gon na love?

How you gon na feel?

How you gon na live your life like the dream you have is real?

And (Asus)if you lost your way,

well, I will keep you safe.

We’ll o pen up all your world in side till you come a live to night.

(Gm)I will keep you safe.

(Gm)I will keep you safe.

We (Bm7)all fall (Gsus2)down,

we (Bm7)all feel (Gsus2)doubt.

’Cause (Em7)rain y days and sum mer highs, the (A)more we pray, the more we feel

a live.

How you gon na love?

How you gon na feel?

How you gon na live your life like the dream you have is real?

(Asus)How you gon na

Well, (Gm)I will keep you safe.

I will keep you safe.

(Gm)I will keep you (D)safe.
