Tom: Dm
Dm9
Every day I write the list
Gm7
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
A7 Dm9
(a thousand beautiful things)
Dm9
And even though it's hard to see
Gm7
The glass is full and not half empty
A7 Dm9
(a thousand beautiful things)
Gm A7 Dm9 Gm
So... light me up like the sun
[Refrão]
A7 Dm9 Gm
To cool down with your rain
A7 Dm9 Gm A7
I never want to close my eyes again
Bb
Never close my eyes
A7 Dm9
Never close my eyes
[Próxima Parte]
I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)
So ...
Here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find
The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(a thousand beautiful things)
To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So ...
Light me up like the sun
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
That is everything I have to say
(that's all I have to say)
