Lyrics

Some thing al ways brings (G9)me back to you;

it nev er takes too (Fmaj9)long.

No mat ter what I say or do,

I’ll (C)still feel you here till the (Cmaj7)mo ment I’m gone.

You hold me with (Gsus4)out touch.

You keep me (Cmaj7)with out (Fmaj9)chains.

I nev er want ed an y thing so much

than to (Cmaj9)drown in your love

and (Cmaj7)not feel your rain.

Set (D)me free,

leave me be.

I don’t wan na (C)fall an oth (G)er mo ment in to your grav i ty.

Here (Dm7)I am

and I stand

so tall,

(G)just the way I’m sup posed to (Am)be.

But you’re (Fmaj9)on to me

and all (C)o ver me.

Oh,

you loved me ’cause (G7sus4)I’m frag ile

when I thought (Cmaj7)that I was (Fmaj9)strong.

But you touch me for a lit tle while

and all my frag ile strength is (Fmaj9)gone.

I live here (Gsus4)on my kness as I try (Gsus4)to make you see that you’re ev ’ry thing (Gsus4)I think I need (Am7)here on the (G)ground.

But you’re nei (G)ther friend nor foe, though I can’t seem (Am7)to let you go.

The one thing (Em7)that I still know is that you’re (F)keep ing me
