E               
A promise or a dare
C#m               B
I would jump if i knew you'd catch me
E                  
Staring over the edge
C#m                    B
I can't tell if you'll be here for me

A

E
Turn out the lights and take a breath
D
Pray that when the wick is burned
A                                 E
You would say that it's all about love


Chorus:

E                     D
You were there when I needed you
A                                   E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
E                     D
You were there when I needed you
A                                   E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
E          C#m       B
You were never here

E
I remember you said
C#m                     B

E

D
I pray that when the wick is burned
A                                 E
You would say that it's all about love

To things you left undone

You were there when I
A                     E
You were there when I needed
