Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges


Intro: G | G D/F# | Em7 | Em7 Gadd9
       C | C | G/D | Gsus2/D

Csus2
Heart beats fast,
            G/B
Colours and promises,
          Em7
How to be brave;
          D/F#      G     Csus2
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
                 G/B
But watching you stand alone,
          Em7
All of my doubt
         D/F#  Gmaj     Am7
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

 Am7   Am7sus2 Em D
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     G                     Gadd9   Gsus2/F#
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Em7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            D
     I have loved you
           Cadd9
     For a thousand years,
                             Gsus4/D  G/D  D
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: Cadd9 D | Csus2

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…
          
   Am7 D    Em Em7 D
   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,
 Am7   D    Em D
   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.
