Capo: 5

A5             C#5             A5              E5
And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
 A5          C#5            A5                 B5
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
A5          C#5              A5            E5
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
A5            C#5            A5             B5
the day is done and your smile has gone away.

B5      C#5     A5
Let me raise you up.
B5      C#5     A5
Let me be your love.

E5
May I hold you
B5
as you fall to sleep,
C#5
when the world is closing in
A5          E5  B5
and you can't breathe.
E5
May I love you.
B5
May I be your shield.
C#5
When no one can be found
A5          E5 B5       E5
may I lay you down.

A5          C#5       A5                    E5
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
A5           C#5                  A5         B5
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

B5       C#5     A5
Let me raise you up.
B5       C#5   A5
Let me be your love

[chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down.

[bridge]
A5                   C#5
All that's made me (made me)
                        A5
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
                       E5 C#5  B5
just to have one moment with you.
A5                 C#5
So I will let go (will let go)
                   A5
all that I know (that I know)
                     E5 C#5    B5
knowing that you're here with me.
 A5                C#5        A5
For your love is changing me.

[chorus]

May I hold you
B5
as you fall to sleep,
C#5
when the world is closing in
A5          E5  B5
and you can't breathe.
