A Thousand Years

(refresh fingerpicking pattern before starting)

Key of G
6/8

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

I have died everyday,
Waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid 
I have loved you 
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me 
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer 2x

(Chorus - breakdown first half)
