[Intro]
D A Bm G x2

[Verse 1]
D A
Patiently waiting for some new Jerusalem.
Bm G
A sacred time where demons didn't know you.
D A
Then, stood on the banks clutching rosary noose.
Bm G
open the floodgates and abandon the sluice.
D A
Oh, Laura, I love you more, than you'll ever know.
Bm G
How can I protect you from these things that you won't let go?

[Interlude]
D A Bm G

[Verse 2]
D
I wish I'd been older,
A Bm
I wish I'd been more of a guardian.
G D
A shoulder to cry upon, a brother to rely upon.
A Bm
I took your shelter, I didn't think twice.
G D
I owe you everything, I owe you my life.
A Bm
I was afraid, I ran away.
G D
Oh, I begged you to come for the skies
A Bm G
on fire, and you couldn't see it, at all.

[Interlude]
D A Bm G

[Chorus]
D A
And love is just a word
