G   D                    Em     E 
YOU,  WITH YOUR HAND OUTSTRETCHED 
G       D      Em   E 
FINGER ON THE KEY 
G        D         Em    E 
THIS LOCK THAT YOU RELEASE 
G           D        Em 
IS OPENING BUT ISN'T FREE 
E7                  Am 
AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE 
  D              G 
HOW IT BEATS INSIDE OF ME 
 E7           Am 
INSTEAD OF PUSHING FEAR ASIDE 
C            D 
I WANT TO RUN    I WANT TO HIDE 
G    D    G 
I AM VULNERABLY YOURS 
 
SHE, WHO IS WANTING ME 
WHOSE TOUCH CAN MAKE ME CRY 
I CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND 
BY NEVER ASKING HER WHY 
HEAR THE CONTRADICTIONS FLY 
AND AS HARD AS I CAN TRY  
EVERY TRUTH BECOMES A LIE 
IN THE ACHE OF HER REPLY 
    G      D     
I AM PASSIONATELY... 
 
Chorus: 
G D Em  
YOURS 
E 
AND THE SADDEST EYES ARE 
G D Em  
YOURS 
E 
AND THE SOFTEST SKIN IS 
G D Em  
YOURS 
E 
AND THE HOPE I BORROW 
G D Em  
YOURS 
   E7            Am 
SO WON'T YOU LET ME IN I'M YOURS 
    D                G 
ALL THAT I BEGIN IS YOURS 
 E7            Am 
EVERY PRIZE I WIN IS YOURS 
C                  D    C 
AT YOUR FEET AGAIN I'M YOURS 
G    D    G 
ALL I AM IS YOURS 
 
*-This is where that really solo goes and I have no clue  
about that part so....If you do please let me know! 
 
G        D 
ALL I AM IS WANTING YOU 
Am                C                D          
I'VE FALLEN DOWN AND I CAN'T SEEM TO COME  
G  D  Am  D 
TO 
G            D 
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE 
Am           C      D 
I COMMEND MY SOUL TO THIS  
G     D  Am  D 
ACHE 
G           D 
UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH 
Am            C       D         
WHERE THE WATER TENDS TO MEET THE  
G  D  Am  D 
SKY 
G                   D 
SHE'S ALL I'M AFTER BY THE TOE 
C        Am 
AND I WON'T LET GO.. 
D            Em             
AND I WANTED YOU TO KNOW 
E7                Am 
THAT IF YOU REAP WHAT YOU WOULD SOW 
C        D        C 
I WOULD TAKE IT BLOW BY BLOW 
G    D        
ALL I AM IS...    Chorus
