Verse 1
Am                                  F   C      F   C
When the ground beneath you starts a-shakin', shakin' 
Am                          F    C     F    C
And you forget the place we came from, came from 
Am                                     F   C           F   C       G
When you're lost and lookin' for your way home, you're way home to me 
G                 C
I'll come out and find you. 

Am                               F   C      F   C
When the world around you starts a-movin', movin’ 
Am                               F   C      F   C
And you should wonder if I still love you, love you 
Am                       F   C   F   C   G
If you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside 
             G7      G              F
I'll make a light to guide you back home. 

CHORUS:
C                 C/B            F
And after all the sky is fallin' down
C                 C/B            F
And after all the water's washed away 
C                  C/B      F      C       G
My love's the only promise that remains 

Am                            F   C     F   C
When your doubts have got you thinkin', thinkin’ 
Am                    F   C   F   C
Nothing's ever really sacred, sacred 
Am                          F       C 
And you're afraid you might believe it... 
G,         G7      G               F   C
Believe in me, And I'll give you a reason 

Am                                 F   C   F   C
Cause the world around us keeps on movin', movin’ 
Am                                  F   C      F   C
And there's no doubt that I still love you, love you 
Am                            F  C    F  C    G
So when you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside 
G7              G                       F 
I'll make a light to guide you back home
