(verse 1)
DDadd9
Promise or a dare,
BmA
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me,
DDadd9
Staring over the edge,
BmA
I can't tell if you'll be here for me,
G
I close my eyes and make a wish,
D
Turn out the lights and take a breath,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,
(chorus)
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
BmA
But you were never here,
DDadd9
I remember you said,
BmA
Love was more then your good intentions,
G
Empty boxes on the floor,
D
Things I've never asked you for,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,
(chorus)
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
(bridge)
C - GDE7
Ohhh, Ahhhh,
CG
And I can't see the promise,
DE7
of excuses you fall upon,
CG
So I pray to God not holding,
Asus4
on to things you left undone,
Bbmaj7Cadd9 - E7 - G
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh,
Bbmaj7Cadd9 - D - Cadd9 - G - D - Dadd9
Yeahhhhhhhhhh,
(chorus)
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
DCadd9G
You were there when I needed you,
D
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open
