Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: A | A E | F#m7 | F#m7 A
       D | D | A | A

D
Heart beats fast,
            A
Colours and promises,
          F#m7
How to be brave;
          E         A     D
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 A
But watching you stand alone,
          F#m7
All of my doubt
         E     A        Bm7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 Bm7           F#m E
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     A
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     F#m7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            E
     I have loved you
           D
     For a thousand years,
                             A             E
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: D E | D

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…

   Bm7 E    F#m F#m7 E
   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.

Chorus:

     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.
