Let [C] you be,
[Am] God to me,
The lady who don't [F] go,
[Am] Still be,
Your heart holds,
[F]
So [C]
I can feel your power,
[Em]
[F]
My
[C]
young heart,
Just a blade,
Waiting for destiny,
Young hearts,
Only love,
Call it a lesson,
The stars and the trust,
The cards make sense,
[Em]
Only when we want them to,
[Am] When I lie awake,
Staring into space,
[F] I see a different view,
[Am] Now you've found,
A new star to orbit,
It could be love,
I think you're too soon,
To call us all,
When the night we [F] go cold,
I thought I had you [Am] on the phone,
Every time I let you [C] be,
I will say,
You're the [Am] one to me,
When the night we [F] go cold,
I thought I had you on the [C] phone,
I thought I had you [Am]
on the phone,
I thought I had you [F] on the phone,
[Dm]
[C]
Somebody asked [Am]

me,
I want to be your boy,
[F]
I want to be your boy,
I want to be [Am]
your boy,
[C]
[Dm]
I want to be your boy,
[F]
I want to be your boy,
And [C] every time I let you be,
[G] I always saw you coming back [F] to me,
When the night we go cold,
I thought I had you [C] on the phone,
I thought I had you on the phone,
[Em] I thought I had you [Am] on the phone,
[F] [N]
