Intro

Verse 1

Two centuries

Since I first saw you weave

Like a dance around my heart

You grew wild when it rained

I dug deep into the slate

So we’d never be apart

Chorus

You, you always stayed by me

You, you wander but never leave

And I’m the one who watches over you

-7

That’s what I was built to do

Verse 2

Laid the track, poured the streets

Ties of glass and concrete

In silence, you watched what I became

You lifted me up

Said I’d stand at the top

And all the world would know my name

(CHORUS)

Bridge

-7 (2x)

-7

Love, don’t you weep

You know we cannot keep

-7

This moment here together

-7

If you could only see

The beauty that I see

-7

We’d go on forever

Verse 3

And as I turn to rust

Start to crack, betray us

You, you haven’t aged a day

When it’s time for me to go

Promise me that you’ll flow

Until the ocean washes you away

Chorus

You, you always stayed by me

You, you wander but never leave

And I’m the one who watches over you

I’m the one who watches over you

I’m the one who watches over you

-7

That’s what I was built to do
