A Thousand Years by: Christina Perri

[Intro]

G Em Cadd9 G D

[Verse 1]

Cadd9

Heartbeats fast

           Em

Colors and promises

How to be brave

          D              Cadd9

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

                 Em

But watching you stand alone

                        D                 Am

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

         Em   D

One step closer

[Chorus]

G

I have died everyday waiting for you

Em                              D

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

       Cadd9

For a thousand years

                 D

I love you for a thousand more

[Verse 2]

Cadd9

Time stands still

          Em

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

           D             Cadd9

I will not let anything take away

                   Em

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

       D                  Am

Every hour has come to this

         Em    D

One step closer

[Chorus]

G

I have died everyday waiting for you

Em                           D

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

       Cadd9

For a thousand years

                 D

I love you for a thousand more

[Bridge]

G

And all along I believed I would find you

Em

Time has brought your heart to me

I love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

[Chorus]
