[Opening]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
[C]When it rains it [C]pours and opens [F]doors
That flood the [C]floors we thought would [F]always
[C]Keep us safe and [G]dry, [C]and in the [C]midst of sailing [F]ships
We sink our [C]lips into the [F]ones we love, that [C]have to say [G]goodbye
[verse 2]
[F]And as I [C]float along this [G]ocean
[F]I can [C]feel you like a [Eb]notion that won’t [G]seem to let me go
[chorus]
[C]When I look to the [G]sky, something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And you make [Am]everything [Bb]alright, [C]and when I feel like I’m [G]lost
Something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And I can [Am]always find my [Bb]way when you are here
[verse 3]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
[C]And every [C]word I didn’t [F]say, that caught up [C]in some busy [F]day
And every [C]dance on the kitchen [G]floor we didn’t have before
[C]And every [C]sunset that we’ll [F]miss, I’ll wrap them [C]all up in a [F]kiss
And pick you [C]up in all of [G]this when I sail away
[verse 4]
[F]And while I [C]float upon this [G]ocean
[F]I can [C]feel you like a [Eb]notion that I [G]hope will never leave
[chorus]
[C]When I look to the [G]sky, something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And you make [Am]everything [Bb]alright, [C]and when I feel like I’m [G]lost
Something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And I can [Am]always find my [Bb]way when you are here
[Closing]
[F]Whether I am up or down or [G]in or out or just plain [Am]overhead
Instead it just feels like it is [Bb]impossible to fly
[F]But with you I can spread my wings to [G]see me over everything
[Am]That life may send me when I am [Bb]hoping it won’t pass me by
[D]And when I feel like there is [A]no one
That will ever [G]know me, there you are to [C]show me
[chorus]
[C]When I look to the [G]sky, something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And you make [Am]everything [Bb]alright, [C]and when I feel like I’m [G]lost
Something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And I can [Am]always find my [Bb]way when you are here
[chorus]
[C]When I look to the [G]sky, something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And you make [Am]everything [Bb]alright, [C]and when I feel like I’m [G]lost
Something tells me you’re [F]here with me
And I can [Am]always find my [Bb]way when you are here
