Intro: F - G x4

Verse 1:

Don't look [Dm]ahead, just r[Am]un to me
Each step w[C]ill find the next o[G]ne recklessly
We'll find o[Dm]urselves on the saf[Am]est ledge
Well, pard[C]on me, I couldn't h[G]elp myself
Girl, [F]fall [G]into y[F]our life [G]here
If [F]on[G]ly for [F]a while, [G]I'm here

Chorus 1:

[Cadd11]Could you be h[C]appy to f[Bb]all like a s[Am]tone
If you'd [F]land [G]right [Am]here [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]?
It's [Cadd11]fine, [C]lock all your [Bb]doors through the [Am]night
Keep it [F]all [G]right [Am]here, [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]
It's [F]fine,[G] it's [F]fine[G]

Then, F - G x2

Verse 2:

You felt [Dm]alone before y[Am]ou ever real[C]ly knew how a[G]lone you were
An empt[Dm]y house, a lo[Am]nely room
The TV[C] talks the fear r[G]ight out of you
But you feel like [F]some[G]one's s[F]tanding by, but yo[G]u'll never know

Chorus 2:

[Cadd11]Could you be h[C]appy to f[Bb]all like a s[Am]tone
If you'd [F]land [G]right [Am]here [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]?
It's [Cadd11]fine, [C]lock all your [Bb]doors through the [Am]night
Keep it [F]all [G]right [Am]here, [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]
(mute)
It's fine

Bridge:

The [F]sun [G]burns [Am]a [Em]hole [Am]straight through your [C]old [G]flaws
If you [F]look [G]toward [Am]the [Em]sky [Am]even on your [Dm]greyest [G]night
F G Am Am/G#
Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
And your [Am/G]eyes o[Am/F#]pen wide and your [F]feet going n[G]owhere?

Chorus 3:

[Cadd11]Could you be h[C]appy to f[Bb]all like a s[Am]tone
If you'd [F]land [G]right [Am]here [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]?
It's [Cadd11]fine, [C]lock all your [Bb]doors through the [Am]night
Keep it [F]all [G]right [Am]here, [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]
(mute)
It's fine

Please note:

I tabbed the chords on the bridge according to what the bass is playing.
If you listen carefully you'll notice the chords are right, you just have to learn the timing.

The chords in the "with the wind in your hair..." part are also tricky.
I've put the ones that, in my opinion, sound better.

As always, if you have any corrections, feel free to comment, but please, be polite!
