Verse 2

C       C       F         C         G/C      Am           F    C

We?d fall asleep by the big blue sea, with open eyes so we could see
C          C          F       C      G/C        Am    F        C 
The way it shines for you and I, you know it?ll shine until we fly

I hope you find what you?re looking for, so your heart is warm for ever more

Little bridge

G/C                C   
I could wait with you by the water
G/C                C   
I could wait with you for the winter to come
G/C                       C                 G/C  
I could stand with you with your snow boots on

Chorus again

F           C       G/C         Am             F      C         G/C      Am
I hope you find the love that?s true, so the morning light can shine on you
F          C                  G/C   Am             F      C        G/C    Am

experiment with some hammer ons and pull off's with the middle finger on some of 
the F and C chords :)

Sing along

I could live in a different place
With a different house and a different name
I could sing you your favourite song
Yeah, you'd sing along, you'd sing along

I could wrap you in your favourite clothes
And kiss your face just so you know
That I'm the one who has got your back
Now turn around and don't be sad

I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

I could fly you away with me
To the furthest place you'll ever be
We could smoke 'til the sun goes down
And without a sound, without a sound

We'd fall asleep by the big blue sea
With open eyes so we could see
The way it shines for you and I
You know it'll shine until we fly

I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

I could wait with you by the water
I could wait with you for the winter to come
I could stand with you with your snow boots on

I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more
