[Verse 1]
F        C              Gm
  I was stronger that night
  Bb            F
I wanted to go alone
             C
The rain was coming down
    Gm             Bb
And nobody could leave, we stayed around
F         C                  Gm
  I said things I knew you'd like
 Bb            F
Alaska and the bears
             C
You knew you couldn't fight
Gm             Bb
Swimming underneath the Northern Lights

[Pre Chorus]
F          C
You didn't know it
Gm       Bb             F          C
   But I had you in the palm of my hand
Gm         Bb
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
F    C        Gm         Bb
  I confess I needed you there
F      C                  Gm        Bb
  I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
  F    C             Gm            Bb         F
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
               C               Gm               Bb
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
        F
Waiting for you
C             G
  Waiting for you
Bb
Waiting for you

[Verse 2]
F       C               Gm
  I can dream away your life
Bb                F               C
Hitch hike to the southern tip of Africa
    Gm               Bb
And put up all the fences that you like
F           C           Gm
But I can't sing you to sleep there
Bb               F
  You're on your own there
C           Gm        Bb
  You're on your own

[Pre Chorus]
F        C
I didn't know it
Gm             Bb             F          C
   I thought I had you in the palm of my hand
Gm         Bb
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
F    C        Gm         Bb
  I confess I needed you there
F      C                  Gm        Bb
  I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
  F    C             Gm            Bb         F
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
               C               Gm               Bb
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
        F
Waiting for you

[Bridge]
D
Take me down, love me in the avenue
Bb
  It'll never be what you want it to
Gm
Was it like this with her?
      Bb
Is it everything you dreamed of?

[Pre-Chorus]
F C     Gm        Bb             F          C
I, I, I thought I had you in the palm of my hand
Gm         Bb
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
F    C        Gm          Bb
  I confess I needed you there
F      C                  Gm         Bb
  I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
  F    C             Gm             Bb         F
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
               C               Gm                Bb
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
        F
Waiting for you
C             Gm
  Waiting for you
Bb
Waiting for you

[Outro]
F              C
Are you ready? Tell me when you want to go
Gm              Bb
Are you ready? Tell me when you want to go
