[Intro – solo piano, soft and warm] Fm – Db – Ab – Eb [Verse 1 – intimate, close-mic'd, gentle] Fm Db I used to hide behind my own two hands, Ab Eb Afraid you'd see the cracks and the shifting sands, Fm Db But you looked straight into the storm in me, Ab Eb And called it home, and called it beauty. [Verse 2] Fm Db You know the days I can't get out of bed, Ab Eb You know the doors I've closed inside my head, Fm Db Yet you sit down beside me in the dark, Ab Eb And you hold the quiet like a spark. [Pre-Chorus – building, voice opening up] Bbm Eb Every flaw I tried to bury deep, Fm Db Is a promise that you promise to keep. [Chorus – full voice, drums enter softly] Ab Eb Take every piece of me, the broken and the true, Fm Db I've got no perfect heart to give to you, Ab Eb But I give you the whole of it, the shadow and the light, Db Eb And you love me like the morning loves the night. [Verse 3 – stripped back, tender] Fm Db Your laugh is the place I go to rest, Ab Eb Your hands are the proof that I'm blessed, Fm Db And when the world gets loud and cold, Ab Eb You're the song I want to grow old. [Pre-Chorus] Bbm Eb Every flaw I tried to bury deep, Fm Db Is a promise that you promise to keep. [Chorus – stronger, falsetto lift on the last line] Ab Eb Take every piece of me, the broken and the true, Fm Db I've got no perfect heart to give to you, Ab Eb But I give you the whole of it, the shadow and the light, Db Eb And you love me like the morning loves the night. [Bridge – strings swell, voice soaring] Db Ab/C So here I stand with nothing left to hide, Bbm Eb Your name is written on the inside, Db Ab/C Through every season, every tear, Bbm Eb You're the reason I'm still here. [Final Chorus – full band, gospel harmonies, emotional peak] Ab Eb Take every piece of me, the broken and the true, Fm Db I've got no perfect heart to give to you, Ab Eb But I give you the whole of it, the shadow and the light, Db Eb And I'll love you like the morning loves the night. [Outro – piano alone, soft, fading] Ab – Eb – Fm – Db – Ab (last chord rings... silence)
