Lyrics
I (C)watch your troubled eyes (Em7)I'm as you rest,
and I (Gsus)fall in love with ev'ry breath.
a (C)crime.
And you Wonder if those (Em7)eyes are really shut,
and am (F)I the one you're (Gsus)dreaming of.
(C)'Cause underneath the darkness
there's a light that's trying so hard to be seen.
And I know this,
(F6/9)'cause I've noticed
a (C)little bit (Em7)shining through the seams.
And if (C)this is (Dm7)what it takes,
then (G)let me be the (C)one to (Dm7)bear the (Am)pain.
(G)Oh, if (C)this is (Dm7)what it takes,
I'll break (C)down these (Dm7)walls that are (C)in our way,
(F6)if (G)this is what it takes.
(C)You keep on telling me (Em7)I'm wasting time,
but to (Gsus)call it wasting time,
oh, breath.
a (C)crime.
And you think it's crazy, (Em7)what I'm tryin' to do.
and Well (F)baby, I'm a (Gsus)fool for (C)you.
'Cause underneath the darkness
there's a light that's trying so hard to be seen.
And I know this,
(F6/9)'cause I've noticed
a (C)little bit (Em7)shining through the seams.
And if (C)this is (Dm7)what it takes,
then (G)let me be the (C)one to (Dm7)bear the (Am)pain.
(G)Oh, if (C)this is (Dm7)what it takes,
I'll break (C)down these (Dm7)walls that are (C)in our way,
(F6)if (G)this is what it takes.
(F6)You (G)'Cause if you (F)don't understand yet,
(G)then I'll (Gsus)never let you forget
(G)that (Am)you don't have to do this on your (C)own.
I'll be your (F6/9)shoulder to lean on,
(G)I'll be your (Gsus)right when you feel wrong.
(G)So (Am)come on, take my hand,
we're movin' (C)on.
And if this is (Dm7)what it takes,
then (G)let me be the (C)one to (Dm7)bear the (Am)pain.
