Lyrics

When it rains it pours and o pens doors that flood the floors we thought would al ways (C)keep us safe and dry.

And in the midst of sail ing (F)ships we sink our lips in to the ones we love that (C)have to say good bye.

And as I (C)float a long this o cean

I can feel you like a no tion that won’t (G)seem to let me go.

’Cause when I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And you make (Am)ev ’ry thing al (Bbsus2)right.

But when I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are here.

And ev ’ry word I did n’t say caught up in some bus y day.

And ev ’ry dance on the kitch en floor we did n’t have be fore.

And ev ’ry sun set that we’ll (F)miss, I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss and pick you up in all of this when I sail a way.

(Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way.

(F)Wheth er I am up or down, or in, or out, or just plain o ver head in stead.

It feels like it’s im (Bbsus2)pos si ble to fly.

But (F)with you I can spread my wings to see me o ver ev ’ry thing that (F)life may send me when I’m hop ing it won’t pass me by.

And when I feel like there’s no one that will ev er know me, there you are to show me.

When I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And you make (Bbsus2)ev ’ry thing al way right.

when you are here.

When I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are here.

When I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Bbsus2)al ways find my way right.

when you are here.

When I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are here.
