[Verse]
DI was nervous in the morning
In a car of Bmbackseat drivers
F#mWith a handful of the stories
From the chapters we were start-Aing
DEvery time I crossed the border
BmWhere the water flows in cascades
F#m
DYou were coming with your sister
From your mother's in the Bmvalley
F#mWhere the caws of rooks and ravens
F#mAre the only thing you hear
GAs you imagine yourself living with no
Phone or electrici-
D-ty
We were F#mheaded to the outpost
F#mWhere our friends had all assembled
GTo receive us in our glory
Where the trees lean for their Emsafety
From Dthe edge of the world
DAnd the birds revolved around us
F#mAs the sea swallowed our
C#mvowsF# E
[Pre-chorus]
GAnd after we were married we went to our
EmWhite stone cottage and you
ATook your simple dress off and
Your tears fell in my eyes as we were Gover
-come with
Wonder and with Alove
Aaaa-round us
[Chorus]
DYou take me as I am
And you turn me into Bmsomeone who could
F#mStep right off this rock
And fly out across the Gocean 'cause if
DI were to die today
BmWell then it wasn't all a waste
F#m A
DYou take me as I am
For all my faults and Bmproblems
F#mAnd you build me to withstand
Every gust and every Agale, and if I
EmKnew I was going to
Die, well I'd be satis-
A-fied
'Cause we've shared this moment
[Verse]
DOn the first night of our future
We left the house in convoys
F#mAurora in the corner
Started sweeping up the Astars, and we
DWere talking all in whispers
BmFor no reason we could think of
F#mat all
F#m
DAs we clambered through the bracken
On our way up to the Bmoutcrop where
F#mthe wind shakes the gorse and the
Coast looks like a jigsaw piece
GAs the sun rose up around us
All neon pink and Empurple Eand
F#Gold
G A G F#
[Pre-chorus]
GAnd way down below the clifftops
The sea broke on the Emshoreline
AWithout hearing itself roar
Without knowing we were here 'cause it was
Gonly Bmdoing
EmWhat it was sup-
Gm-posed to
As Emyou
[Chorus]
DYou take me as I am
And you turn me into Bmsomeone who could
F#mStep right off this rock
And fly out across the ocean D'cause
If I were to die
BmToday well then it wasn't all a F#mwaste
F#m A
DYou take me as I am
For all my faults and Bmproblems and you
F#mBuild me to withstand
Every gust and every gale, and if I
EmKnew I was going to
Die, well I'd be satis-
A-fied
'Cause we've shared this moment
D F#m G Gm D Bm F#m
AOoooOOoohh
DYou take me as I am
For all my faults and Bmproblems and you
F#mBuild me to withstand
F#Every gust and every gale, and if I
EmKnew I was going Ato
F#mDie
AOOoooohh well I'd be satis-
G-fied
Oooohh because we've
GmShared this
mo-ment
[Outro]
DOnce you were a stranger but I
Struggle to remember now I
F#mPicture us as children and the years
Before I met Gyou on the first
DDay of my life when the day
GBroke like an antique
