Chorus (no finger-picking just chords)
[Am]You found me dressed in bl[F]ack
hiding way up at the b[C]ack
Life had [G]broken my heart into pieces
[Am]You took my hand in you[F]rs
You started breaking d[C]own my walls
[G]And you covered my heart in kisses
[Am]I thought life passed me [F]by
Missed my tears, ignor[C]ed my cries
[G]Life had broken my heart, my spirit
[Am]And then you crossed my path
You[F] quelled my fears, you [C]made me laugh
T[G]hen you covered my heart in ki[Am]sses
Verse (same as first verse)

And I had lost it all, yes I was scared

I took to the night, I'd given
Am Open F
into the fight.
[C] [G]
And I slipped further down, I felt like
Am Open F
I had drowned. (I felt like I had drowned)
