(verse 1)
D                D9   
Promise or a dare,
Bm                 A 
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me, 
D                    D9 
Staring over the edge,
Bm                     A           
I can't tell if you'll be here for me,
G
I close my eyes and make a wish,
D
Turn out the lights and take a breath,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,

(chorus)
D                      C9     G  
You were there when I needed you,
                                    D           
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
D                       C9    G 
You were there when I needed you,  
                                     D             
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open, 


                Bm      A
But you were never here,
D                   D9
I remember you said,
Bm                        A    
Love was more then your good intentions, 
G
Empty boxes on the floor, 
D
Things I've never asked you for,
C
Pray that when the wick is burned,
G
You would say that it's all about love,

(chorus)
D                      C9     G  
You were there when I needed you,
                                    D           
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,
D                       C9    G 
You were there when I needed you,  
                                     D             
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open,

(bridge)
C - G   D  E7 
Ohhh,   Ahhhh,  
        C                G  
And I can't see the promise, 
          D             E7
of excuses you fall upon,
      C                 G    
So I pray to God not holding, 
          Asus4    
on to things you left undone,
Bb7M   C9 - E7 - G            
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh,
Bb7M    C9 - D - C9 - G - D - D9       
Yeahhhhhhhhhh,

(chorus)
D                       C9   G
You were there when I needed you,
                                  D   
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
D                       C9   G
You were there when I needed you,
                                  D   
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
D                       C9   G
You were there when I needed you,
                                  D   
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
D                       C9   G
You were there when I needed you,
                                  D   
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open,
D                       C9   G
You were there when I needed you,
                                  D   
You were there when the sky broke wide wide open
