	  		Intro: C  G  Am  (x2) 

  C                     G           Am 
I watched your troubled eyes as you rest 
      F                 G             C 
And I fall in love with every breath 
  C               G               Am  
I wonder if those eyes are really shut 
       F         G                   C 
And am I the one you’re dreaming of 

      F              G 
Cause underneath the darkness 
          Am                G             F 
There’s a light that trying so hard to be seen 
      F                     G 
And I know this, cause I’ve noticed 
  Am         G                   F 
A little bit shining through the seams 

       C       Dm      Am 
And if this is what it takes                     
                   C      Dm       Am    G 
Then let me be the one to bear the pain 
        C       Dm      Am 
Ooh, if this is what it takes 
                      Dm             C      G 
I’ll break down these walls that are in our way 
   C 
If this is what it takes 

    C               G              Am 
You keep on telling me I’m wasting time 
       F               G                       C 
But to call it wasting time oh that’s a crime 
        C                G                  Am 
And you think it’s crazy what I’m trying to do 
      F          G            C 
Well, baby I’m a fool for you 

      F              G 
Cause underneath the darkness 
          Am                G             F 
There’s a light that trying so hard to be seen 
      F                     G 
And I know this, cause I’ve noticed 
  Am         G                   F 
A little bit shining through the seams 

       C       Dm      Am 
And if this is what it takes                     
                   C      Dm       Am    G 
Then let me be the one to bear the pain 
        C       Dm      Am 
Ooh, if this is what it takes 
                      Dm             C      G 
I’ll break down these walls that are in our way 

             F                G 
Cause if you don’t understand yet 
          Dm               G 
Then I’ll never let you forget 
     Am                                G 
That you don’t have to do this on your own 
             F                   G 
I’ll be your shoulder to lean on 
             Dm                         G 
I’ll be your right when you feel wrong 
   Am                                G 
So come on take my hand we’re moving on 

       C       Dm      Am 
And if this is what it takes                     
                   C      Dm       Am    G 
Then let me be the one to bear the pain 
        C       Dm      Am 
Ooh, if this is what it takes 
                      Dm   
I’ll break down these walls  
      F              C      G 
These walls that are in our way 
                   C
