C G C F (4x)
[Verse 1]
C F C
You have been my lighthouse
F C
In every storm
F
You have given shelter
Dm7 G F
You have kept me safe and warm
C F
And in my darkest nights
C F
You have shone your brightest lights
C F
You are my saving grace
Darling I love you
[Instrumental]

F C
You have been the pilot
F C
Who guides me home
F
You have been the my rock
Em Dm7 G F
As on the seven seas I roam
C F
And when I was becalmed
C F
You were the strength in my arms
C F
You are my saving grace
Darling I love you
[Instrumental]
C Dm7 C Dm7 C Dm7 C Dm7
[Bridge]
F
And when I found my back
Dm7 C
Was torn and broken on the reef
F
You sailed your tiny boat
Em Dm7 G C
Across the dark seas of my disbelief
[Verse 3]
F C
You have been the anchor
F C
And I the chain
F Em
Straining as we hold ourselves
Dm7 G F
Together in the rain
Em Dm7
I have found you ever there
C F
My constant keeper's daughter fair
C F
You are my saving grace
Darling I love you
Darling I love you
Darling I love you
