  Intro:     G
  
 G                       D
 If I came to you empty handed
          Em                    C
 A barren ocean with nothing at all
     G                       D
 And if I came to you empty hearted
                Em               C
 Searching for pieces after the fall

 C                       G
 All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
  D
 But I'm tired of going on without believing
       Em
 That love is not illusion
  Bm                    D
 Love illuminates the blind


    C G  D  
 If I-I fell into you
              Em
 Would it be close enough?
    C G  D
 If I-I finally let you in
            Em       D       C
 Would you show me what love is?
                      G      D      Em      C
 If I had nothing to give


 G                        D
 If you came to me empty handed
                Em                  C
 I'd brave your ocean to bring you home
     G                        D
 And if you came to me empty hearted
               Em                  C
 I'd find the pieces to make you whole


    C G  D  
 If I-I fell into you
              Em
 Would it be close enough?
    C G  D
 If I-I finally let you in
            Em       D       C
 Would you show me what love is?
                      C      G
 If I had nothing to give


 D
 If I am a promise
  A                      C      G
 Will you let me break again
 D
 I will be your compass
 A                    C
 I will only let you bend

 C                       G
 All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
  D
 But I'm tired of going on without believing
       Em
 That love is not illusion
  Bm                    D
 Love illuminates the blind


    C G  D  
 If I-I fell into you
              Em
 Would it be close enough?
    C G  D
 If I-I finally let you in
            Em       D       C
 Would you show me what love is?
                      G      D      Em      C      
 If I had nothing to give
                      G
 If I had nothing to give
