                 G#m  F#     E
I don't have to leave anymore
     C#m        B     E
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't overlook

Chorus:
      E
I am yours now
               G#m
So now I don't ever have to leave
           B
I've been found out
             C#m      E
So now I'll never explore

That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
Where would I be
If this were to go under?
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

Chorus:
And I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found now
So now I'll never explore
I am yours now (I am yours now)
So now I don't ever have to leave
(ever have to leave)
I've been found now (been found now)
So now I'll never explore

So now I'll never explore
