Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Intro: G | G D | Em7 | Em7 G
       C | C | G | G

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

 Am7           Em D
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     G
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Em7
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
            D
     I have loved you
           C
     For a thousand years,
                             G             D
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Instrumental: C D | C

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.

 Am7        Em D
   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.
     Time has brought your heart to me,
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.
