 C                   G           Am
I watch your troubled eyes as you rest
      F                 G           C
And i fall in love with every breath
C               G                 Am
Wonder if those eyes are really shut
       F                 G          C
And am i the one you're dreaming of




       F               G
'Cause underneath the darkness
          C                     G          Am
There's a light thats trying so hard to be seen
       F                    G
And I know this, 'cause ive noticed
C             G                  Am
A little bit shining through the seams

And if this is what it takes
     G             C      Dm          Am  G

I'll break down these walls that are in our way
   G

Then i'll never let you forget
     Am                               C
That you dont have to do this on your own
