May I

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

C#m    D9
Let me raise you up.
Bm   C#m       D
Let me be your love.

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

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

C#m    D9
Let me raise you up

as you fall to sleep,
         E                D
when the world is closing in

and you can't breathe.

May I love you.
               F#m
May I be your shield.
        E          D
When no one can be found

may I lay you down.

E               D9
All that's made me
E                D9
Is all worth trading
E                A           E   D
just to have one moment with you.
              A
So I will let go
           A
all that I know
                    E
knowing that you're here with me.
              A
For your love is changing me.

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