Lyrics

You (D)say

love is (G)what you put (D)in to it.

You (D)say

that I’m (G)los ing my (D)will.

Don’t you (D)know that you’re all that I (D)think a bout?

You (G)make up a (D)half of the whole.

You (D)say

that it’s (G)hard to com (D)mit to it.

You (D)say that it’s hard stand ing (D)still.

Don’t you (D)know that I spend all my (D)nights count ing back wards the (D)days till I’m home?

If on ly New (Bm)York was n’t so far a (Asus)way,

I’d prom ise this (Bm)cit y won’t get in our (Asus)way.

And When you’re scared and a lone, just know that I’m al read y (A)home.

I (D)say

that we’re (G)right in the (D)heart of it,

a (D)love on ly we un der (D)stand.

I will (D)bend ev ’ry light in this (D)cit y, and make sure they’re (D)shin ing on you.

If on ly New (Bm)York was n’t so far a (Asus)way,

I’d prom ise this (Bm)cit y won’t get in our (Asus)way.

And when you’re scared and a lone, just know that I’m al read y (A)home.

When life takes

its own course,

some times we just don’t get to choose.

I’d rath er be there next to you.

Prom ise you’ll wait for me, wait for me, wait till I’m

home.

all I (D)have is this feel ing in (D)side of me, the on ly thing (D)I’ve ev er known.

I will be (Bm7)there ev ’ry step of the (Asus)way.

And (A)when you’re scared and a lone, just know that I’m al read y (A)home.

Just know that I’m al read y (A)home.
