Capo: Fret 3
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
This is a basic version to play around with. I like to finger pick the verses and strum the chorus.
I found a few on here that didnt sound right to me, so did my own by listening to the song over and over.
If you play the Cadd9, G and Em with both fingers on the E and B string I think it sounds more better.

[Verse 1]
Hearts beat fa

But watching y

All of my doub

One step clo

[Chorus 1]
I have died ev
eryday, waitin
g for you,
Darling dont b
e afraid, I ha
ve loved you
For a thousand
years,
I'll love you
for a thousand
more.
[Verse 2]
Time stands st
ill, beauty in
all she is
I will be brav
e,
I will not let
anything ta

Whats standing
in front of m

Every breath,
every hour has
come to this
One step cl

[Chorus 2]
I have died, e
veryday waitin
g for you
Darling dont b
e afraid, I ha
ve loved you
For a thousand
years,
I'll love you
for a thousand
more.
All along I be

Time had broug
ht your heart

I have loved y

and years,
I'll love you
for a thousand
more.
