Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: D | D A/C# | Bm7 | Bm7 Dadd9
       G | G | D/A | Dsus2/A

Gsus2
Heart beats fast,
            D/F#
Colours and promises,
          Bm7
How to be brave;
          A/C#      D     Gsus2
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 D/F#
But watching you stand alone,
          Bm7
All of my doubt
         A/C#  Dmaj     Em7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 Em7   Em7sus2 Bm A
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     D                     Dadd9   Dsus2/C#
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Bm7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            A
     I have loved you
           Gadd9
     For a thousand years,
                             Dsus4/A  D/A  A
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: Gadd9 A | Gsus2

Time stands still,
Beauty in all she is.
I will be brave -
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me.
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this…
          
   Em7 A    Bm Bm7 A
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.

     And all along I believed I would find you.
     Time has brought your heart to me,
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.

   One step closer.
