Intro: F
 
Verse 1:
            F                 Bb    Dm    Gm     C
If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you
            F                 Bb    Dm   Gm   C
I think I might give up everything, just ask me to
 
Pre-Chorus:
Dm                Bb                 F                C
Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Dm                Bb            F     C
Right now I'm completely defenceless
 
Chorus:
              Bb F        C         Dm
For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart
                Bb  F       C           Dm
For when you're lonely and forget who you are
             Bb     F  C          Dm
I'm missing half of me when we're apart
          Bb F                Bb F
Now you know me, for your eyes only
 
Interlude: Bb F
 
              Bb
For your eyes only
 
Verse:
          F                     Bb    Dm Gm     C
I've got scars even though they can't always be seen
               F                           Bb Dm    Gm    C
And pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing
 
Pre-Chorus:
Dm                Bb                 F                C
Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Dm                Bb            F     C
Right now I'm completely defenceless
 
Chorus:
              Bb F        C         Dm
For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart
                Bb  F       C           Dm
For when you're lonely and forget who you are
             Bb     F  C          Dm
I'm missing half of me when we're apart
          Bb F                Bb F
Now you know me, for your eyes only
 
Interlude: Bb F
 
              Bb
For your eyes only
 
Bridge:
Dm               Bb                  F        C
I can feel your heart inside of mine, I feel it, I feel it
Dm         Bb         F           C
I'm going out of my mind, I feel it, I feel it
Dm                    Bb    F
Know that I'm just wasting time
A
And I
Bb                  Dm       C
Hope that you don't run from me
 
Chorus:
              Bb F        C         Dm
For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart
                Bb  F       C           Dm
For when you're lonely and forget who you are
             Bb     F  C          Dm
I'm missing half of me when we're apart

It’s how many steps you transpose the song. There’s a bar at the top of the page that allows you to do so :)
