[Verse 1]
C                         F        C
I've been waiting for the tides to change
        F        C            G
For the waves to send you my way
C                         F   C
I see you darling but you pixilate
        F       C           G
It gets hard to take these days

[Pre-Chorus]
         C              F   C           F
But we’ll hold the line, I won't let go
       C                  G                            C
'Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
                 F
And I don't mind
       C            F
'Cause we both know
     C                   G                           G
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home

[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down

[Verse 2]
C                F      C
I remember happy wastеd days
        F      C            G
Summers golden haze in our еyes
C                     F        C
Lifting you above the breaking waves
         F        C           G
Memories floating back to my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
        C              F   C           F
You said hold the line, I won't let go
      C                  G                            C
Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
                 F
And I don't mind
       C            F
'Cause we both know
     C                   G                           G
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home

[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am                     F                    C   G
It's like when you're far away from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I’m in a room with you that missing piece is found

[Bridge]
F                     C             G
I won't waste a minute when you're here
          G                    F
And we're finally in the clear
              C             G
When every day is like the last
               G
I just keeping holding fast

[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am                     F                    C   G
It's like when you're far away from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I’m in a room with you that missing piece is found
