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

For your eyes only
 
Bridge:
Bm               G                  D        A
I can feel your heart inside of mine, I feel it, I feel it
Bm         G         D           A
I'm going out of my mind, I feel it, I feel it
Bm                    G    D
Know that I'm just wasting time
Gb
And I
G                  Bm       A
Hope that you don't run from me
 
Chorus:
              G D        A         Bm
For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart
                G  D       A           Bm
For when you're lonely and forget who you are
             G     D  A          Bm
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 :)
