I  want to come closer
 But you  are so distant
Lately  your thoughts  are so far
 And I  want to show  you all  that you're missing
I'll  meet you right  where you are
Oh  love, I've  always known you
Oh  love, you've  always been mine
Oh  love, I'm  only asking you for  your life
Say  that you need  me
 I know  what you're feeling
You  cannot do  this alone
I  gave you my word  and I gave  you my life  so,
You'll  never be  on your own
 *This part is tricky, you start singing the "Is this what..." on the A of the
 first part. The second part in brackets is the part you repeat over and over.
 Hold the "Is this what..." line until the next A comes around, then start the
 other next "Is this what...". When you finish the 6 repeats, go to the next line.
 Same chords are played throughout the whole bridge*
 x2
You're  waiting for  this life,  to be what
 (You've been waiting for, this life, to be what)<-- x6
 You've been waiting for, this life, to be what you wanted.
 Is this what you wanted?
 Is this what you needed?
Oh  love, I've  always known you
Oh  love, you've  always been mine
Oh  child, I'm  only asking you for  your life
