[D]
To say it's love would be too simple, too obvious.
It's more like a calling, a vocation, something I was put on this earth to do.
Now I'm shooting with the stars and I'm flying with the angels.
And my heartbeat is [A] a symphony.
The closer I [D] get.
I never saw you coming till you came, here you are.
I never thought someone would ever dare to come this far.
You're up for the resistance, and I'm strong enough [A] to resist.
And I never know the real me.
If I could [D] [A] [G] have you.
If [D] I [A] could [G] have you.
[Bm] I would be a [F#m] realist, I'd admit to just.
[G] I would be invisible, [A] never having loved you.
[G] If I [D] could [Em] have [D] you.
I [A] don't wanna [D] be me.
Then I would be the [G] same man you scraped [D] off the ground.
I'd have to go back [G] being that [D] broken soul you found.
Those days are in the darkness, I buried them [A] with hardness.
And in half a year go steaming down.
[D] Your life is like an anchor that puts me in my place.
No you won't let me sink when I'm off losing my way.
Thank God for your virtue [G] and the wisdom in [D] your eye.
[A] Cause somehow you get through all the chasing in my mind.

[G] If I could [D] have [Em] [D] you.
I [A] don't wanna be [G] [D] me.
[Em] [D] Then [A] I'd be [G] the same man you scraped off the ground.
Why did it take you so long to [A] finally see.
[Em] That we had [G] a love that you don't [Bm] find [A] easily.
[Em] You broke [G] my heart, the [Bm] price to pay for [A] that.
Is [Em] your life to live, the [G] misery of [Bm] losing what you [C#] had.
[G] [D] [E] [G] If I [D] could [A] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] have [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
[G] you.

to, you'll [C#m] soon [A] know.
