[Verse 1]
Em D A
Come in close to me and bring me joy
Em
Lift me higher, much higher
D A
And higher than light allows
Em D
I wanted to be everything, everything for you
A
I wanted you, I needed you,
A
I thought that you did too
Em D
You built me beauty and took it all away
A
And I can't face another day...
[Chorus]
A Em D A
I'll die for you today
A
I'll die for you today
A Em D
I'll die for you today
A
I'll die for you today
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em D
Tempt me, sweet tempest - and shower me with stars
A
I want to be as beautiful as you
Em
Take me to the summit and show me
D
Show me all that I could ever haAve
Em D
You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted
A
And now you take it all away
Em
You gave me love and then you killed me blindly
D A
I think I'll die for you today,
A
I can't persue another way...
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Em
Like a garden growin' in flames
D
A forest filled with fear of the wind
C
Like the moon so beautiful from afar
D
But shattered on the surface, full of scars
Em
A sea with no more fish, planets without air
D
Whales with no more song
Em D A
I know I'm gonna die with them today
[Outro]
[Refrão] (repetir)
