Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: C# | C# G# | Bbm7 | Bbm7 C#
       F# | F# | C# | C#

F#
Heart beats fast,
            C#
Colours and promises,
          Bbm7
How to be brave;
          G#        C#    F#
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 C#
But watching you stand alone,
          Bbm7
All of my doubt
         G#    C#       Ebm7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 Ebm7          Bbm G#
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     C#
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Bbm7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            G#
     I have loved you
           F#
     For a thousand years,
                             C#            G#
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: F# G# | F#

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…

   Ebm7 G#  Bbm Bbm7 G#
   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.

     Darling, don’t be afraid -
     I have loved you

     I’ll love you for a thousand more.

     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.
