Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: E | E B/Eb | C#m7 | C#m7 Eadd9
       A | A | E/B | Esus2/B

Asus2
Heart beats fast,
            E/G#
Colours and promises,
          C#m7
How to be brave;
          B/Eb      E     Asus2
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 E/G#
But watching you stand alone,
          C#m7
All of my doubt
         B/Eb  Emaj     F#m7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 F#m7  F#m7sus2 C#m B
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     E                     Eadd9   Esus2/Eb
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     C#m7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            B
     I have loved you
           Aadd9
     For a thousand years,
                             Esus4/B  E/B  B
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: Aadd9 B | Asus2

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…
          
   F#m7 B   C#m C#m7 B
   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.
