      Am               F

C   F
I
      C        F
I was standing
         C        F
You were there

Two worlds collided

         Am         F
We could live for a thousand years
         Dm                 F
But if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears
  Am              F
I told you that we could fly
         Dm                 F
Cause we all have wings but some of us don't know why

You were there (Worlds collided)
