I hear the sirens, more and more in this here town  

G         Am          Bm            D     Cadd9        Em  
Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed  
G         Am        Bm      D    Cadd9    Am  
Just to know were safe I am a grateful man  
G         Am          Bm        D   Cadd9    Em  
This life has been a light and I can see clear  
 

Am                               C  
how to take your hand, and feel your breath  
G                      Dm  
or feel this someday will be over  
Am                   C  
I hold you close, so much to lose  
G                    Dm           Em  
knowing that nothing lasts forever  


F               C  
I didnt care before you were here  
G            Dm                         Em  
I danced with laughter with the ever after  
F               C                    G  
But all things change. Let this remain.

The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time?  

G       Am       Bm        D     Cadd9        Em  
Oh every choice, mistake Ive made, its not my plan  
G       Am      Bm     D    Cadd9    Am  
to send you in the arms of another man  
G      Am       Bm         D       Cadd9        Em  
And if you choose to stay, Ill wait, I'll understand  

Am                   C  
Its a fragile thing, this life we lead  
G                Dm  
If I think too much, I cant get over  
Am                  C  
Wound by the grace by which we live  
G                Dm                  Em  
our lives with death over our shoulder  

F               C  
Want you to know that should I go  
G            Dm                          Em  
I always loved you, held you high above too  
F               C                    G  
I study your face, the fear goes away
