[Verse]
D
I was nervous in the morning
Bm
In a car of backseat drivers
F#m
With a handful of the stories
A
From the chapters we were start-ing
D
Every time I crossed the border
Bm
Where the water flows in cascades
F#m
D
You were coming with your sister
Bm
From your mother's in the valley
F#m
Where the caws of rooks and ravens
F#m
Are the only thing you hear
G
As you imagine yourself living with no
Phone or electrici-
D
-ty
F#m
We were headed to the outpost
F#m
Where our friends had all assembled
G
To receive us in our glory
Em
Where the trees lean for their safety
D
From the edge of the world
D
And the birds revolved around us
F#m
As the sea swallowed our
C#m F# E
vows
[Pre-chorus]
G
And after we were married we went to our
Em
White stone cottage and you
A
Took your simple dress off and
G
Your tears fell in my eyes as we were over
-come with
A
Wonder and with love
Aaaa-round us
[Chorus]
D
You take me as I am
Bm
And you turn me into someone who could
F#m
Step right off this rock
G
And fly out across the ocean 'cause if
D
I were to die today
Bm
Well then it wasn't all a waste
F#m A
D
You take me as I am
Bm
For all my faults and problems
F#m
And you build me to withstand
A
Every gust and every gale, and if I
Em
Knew I was going to
Die, well I'd be satis-
A
-fied
'Cause we've shared this moment
[Verse]
D
On the first night of our future
We left the house in convoys
F#m
Aurora in the corner
A
Started sweeping up the stars, and we
D
Were talking all in whispers
Bm
For no reason we could think of
F#m
at all
F#m
D
As we clambered through the bracken
Bm
On our way up to the outcrop where
F#m
the wind shakes the gorse and the
Coast looks like a jigsaw piece
G
As the sun rose up around us
Em E
All neon pink and purple and
F#
Gold
G A G F#
[Pre-chorus]
G
And way down below the clifftops
Em
The sea broke on the shoreline
A
Without hearing itself roar
Without knowing we were here 'cause it was
G Bm
only doing
Em
What it was sup-
Gm
-posed to
Em
As you
[Chorus]
D
You take me as I am
Bm
And you turn me into someone who could
F#m
Step right off this rock
D
And fly out across the ocean 'cause
If I were to die
Bm F#m
Today well then it wasn't all a waste
F#m A
D
You take me as I am
Bm
For all my faults and problems and you
F#m
Build me to withstand
Every gust and every gale, and if I
Em
Knew I was going to
Die, well I'd be satis-
A
-fied
'Cause we've shared this moment
D F#m G Gm D Bm F#m
A
OoooOOoohh
D
You take me as I am
Bm
For all my faults and problems and you
F#m
Build me to withstand
F#
Every gust and every gale, and if I
Em A
Knew I was going to
F#m
Die
A
OOoooohh well I'd be satis-
G
-fied
Oooohh because we've
Gm
Shared this
mo-ment
[Outro]
D
Once you were a stranger but I
Struggle to remember now I
F#m
Picture us as children and the years
G
Before I met you on the first
D
Day of my life when the day
G
Broke like an antique
D
