Em
Take a look at me. 
G
I feel stronger by your side 
C
I remember when 
D
when I first caught the light 
Em
shine into your eyes 
G                       C               D            
and saw who I needed to be. 


(chorus) 

Em          G         C         D
I'll be the sand that slows you down 
Em          G             C       D    
I'll be the song when you hear no sound 
       Em                      
You're everything I need 
G
Everything I see 
C               D              Em      G      C

Are you listening?

You've got me on my toes

Wishing and wanting

On everything I know

Just to be close to you 
Em
I just want to go 
G                       C                D    
Whenever you need me to be

You're everything I need 
G
Everything I see 
C               D              Em      G      C

       G                          C          
you're screaming at the top of my lungs 
   D                   Em                  
my heart is beating in time with this clock
