Intro 2x: G C D

          G
There's a fire escape
        C                          D
At the end of the gate where I am standing
         G
There's a ladder that goes
      C                       D
To a safe place below on the ground

        G
But I don't need it now
          C                      D
It's too soon to go down to the bottom
        G
I will wait 'til it's close
          C
When I'm needing it most
           D
When I'm scared

(Bridge)
 
        Em                C      D
I will look out into the starred sky
          Em                  C    D
With your help now, I will be all right

(Chorus)

G                C
Oh, my future, I can't believe it's time
G                   D
No, my lover, I'll never leave you behind
G                C
Oh, my future, I can't believe it's time
G                   D
No, my lover, I'll never leave you behind

(G C D)

            G
There's a pattern of stones
        C                   D
Laying out in a row by the river
         G
We have started to climb
         C                      D
With a hand on the side of the wall

         G
But I'm too stunned to call
      C                   D
And hoping it all will be over
          G
With the radio on
          C
With the waterfall gone
    D
We will go

(Bridge)

        Em                 C      D
I will look out into the starred sky
           Em                 C     D
With your help now, I will be all right

(Chorus)

G                  C
Oh, my future, I can't believe it's time
G                   D
No, my lover, I'll never leave you behind
G                 C
Oh, my future, I can't believe it's time
G                    D                    G
No, my lover, I'll never leave you behind
