INTRO

F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
I can stand with the weight of the world on my shoulders,
F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
I can fight with the toughest of the tough.
F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
I can laugh in the face of all my insecurities,
F# Ebm E B
Anytime, anywhere, anything,
I'm [Db]strong enough.

But [Badd9]when you're [Db]holding me like this,
[Ebm]I'm carelessly [B]lost in your [Db]touch.
[Badd9]I'm comp[Db]letely defenceless,
[Ebm]Baby, its [Db]almost too [Ab]much.
[Bbm]I'm [B]helplessly, [Ebm7]hopelessly, [Abm]recklessly [Db]falling in
F# Ebm7 E B F# Ebm7 E B
Love.

F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
So let consequence do what it will to us, I don't care.
F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
Let the stars stand as witness to it all.
F# Ebm E B F# Ebm E B
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere.
F# Ebm E B Db
I just can't pretend anymore I'm too sturdy to fall.

'Cause [Badd9]when you're [Db]holding me like this,
[Ebm]I'm carelessly l[B]ost in your t[Db]ouch.
[Badd9]I'm comp[Db]letely defenceless,
[Ebm]Baby, its [Db]almost too [Ab]much.
[Bbm]I'm [B]helplessly, [Ebm7]hopelessly, [Abm]recklessly [Db]falling in
[F#]Love.[Ebm][E][B][F#][Ebm][E][B]

[Dbm]I am [Abm]not afraid,[Bbm] [B]I am [Db]not afraid.

'Cause [Badd9]when you're [Db]holding me like this,
[Ebm]I'm carelessly [B]lost in your [Db]touch.
[Badd9]I'm comp[Db]letely defenceless,
[Ebm]Baby, its [Db]almost too [Ab]much.
[Bbm]I'm [B]helplessly, [Ebm7]hopelessly, [Abm]recklessly [Db]falling [B][Ebm7][Abm][Db]
I'm [B]helplessly, [Ebm7]hopelessly, [Abm]recklessly [Db]falling in,
