Intro:
      

Verse 1:
             
I want to come closer
              
But you are so distant
                         
Lately your thoughts are so far
                                
And I want to show you all that you're missing
                           (low)
I'll meet you right where you are

Chorus:
        
Oh love, I've always known you
      
Oh love, you've always been mine
                                 
Oh love, I'm only asking you for your life

[Intro]

Verse 2:
           
Say that you need me
                  
I know what you're feeling
                
You cannot do this alone
                              
I gave you my word and I gave you my life so, 
                     (low)
You'll never be on your own

Bridge:
*This part is tricky, you start singing the "Is this what..." on the A of the
first part. The second part in brackets is the part you repeat over and over.
Hold the "Is this what..." line until the next A comes around, then start the
other next "Is this what...". When you finish the 6 repeats, go to the next line.
Same chords are played throughout the whole bridge*

    x2

                                
You're waiting for this life, to be what
(You've been waiting for, this life, to be what)<-- x6
You've been waiting for, this life, to be what you wanted.

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you needed?

[Chorus]

Outro:
       
Oh love, I've always known you
      
Oh love, you've always been mine
                                 
Oh child, I'm only asking you for your life
