May I- Trading Yesterday
Capo: 5

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

B      C#m     A
Let me raise you up.
B      C#m     A
Let me be your love.

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

A          C#m       A                    E
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
A           C#m                  A         B
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

B       C#m     A
Let me raise you up.
B       C#m   A
Let me be your love

May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in

just to have one moment with you.
