The person that I've been lately
C#m * B *
Ain't who I wanna be.

Watch as the storm blows through,
F#m * Aadd9 B *
And I need you.

There are no words here left to say.

Verse 2:
Aadd9 E
There's more here than what were seeing,
C#m * B *
A divine conspiracy,
Aadd9 E
That you, an angel lovely
C#m * B *
Could somehow fall for me.
Aadd9 E
You'll always be love's great martyr,
C#m * B *
I'll be the flattered fool.
F#m * Aadd9 B *
And I need you.

Bridge:
C#m * Aadd9
On my own I'm only
E
Half of what I could be--I

Can't do without you.
Aadd9
We are stitched together,
E
And what love has tethered--I
B *
Pray we never undo.
