Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: Eb | Eb Bb/D | Cm7 | Cm7 Ebadd9
       G# | G# | Eb/Bb | Ebsus2/Bb

G#sus2
Heart beats fast,
            Eb/G
Colours and promises,
          Cm7
How to be brave;
          Bb/D      Eb    G#sus2
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 Eb/G
But watching you stand alone,
          Cm7
All of my doubt
         Bb/D  Ebmaj    Fm7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 Fm7   Fm7sus2 Cm Bb
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     Eb                    Ebadd9  Ebsus2/D
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Cm7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            Bb
     I have loved you
           G#add9
     For a thousand years,
                             Ebsus4/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: G#add9 Bb | G#sus2

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…
          
   Fm7 Bb   Cm Cm7 Bb
   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.
