Verse  

 C                       
Everything has a reason 
 F 
Everything has a start 
 C 
Anything that ever burned 
        F 
Had a spark 
 C 
Anything I ever wanted 
 F 
Anyone I ever needed 
 C                                         F 
Always seemed to leave me standing in the dark 


Pré-Chorus:
 
          Dm                 F 
Suddenly I'm caught in your light 
            C                      G 
Opened the door, and you stepped inside 
                      Dm 
And I'm watching the hours 
               G 
Looking for reasons 
                C            C/B            Am                            
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 
             G           F 
'Til you're back in my arms, 
           G                          C     F 
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars 
               C      F 
Counting the stars 



 C 
Nothing could ever touch us 
 F 
Nothing gonna shake my faith 
 C                                                  F 
Nothing in this big, bad world will ever take you away 
        C 
Like a rolling hurricane 
            F 
Nothing's standing in our way 
         C                         F 
Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place 


             
          Dm                 F 
Suddenly I'm caught in your light 
            C                      G 
Opened the door, and you stepped inside 
                      Dm 
And I'm watching the hours 
               G 
Looking for reasons 
                C            C/B            Am                            
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 
             G           F 
'Til you're back in my arms, 
           G                          C     
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars 
  F                   C       F 
Ooh, counting the stars, ooh 

Bridge  
 
        C

Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place
