Nick Banschbach - I Am Here

[Verso 1]


G9        F9          E9         Eb9 
As a boy, in a storm, power cut, comes my fear, 
G9             F9         E9              Eb9 
mother’s arms, I lean in, hear her words, “I am here” 


[Verso 2]


G9            F9             E9             Eb9 
Climb a tree, as a squirrel, a branch snap, I fall clear, 
G9              F9            E9               Eb9 
hit the ground, an arm crack, dad comes quick, “I am here” 


[Verso 3]


G9            F9             E9              Eb9 
All grown up, off to school, making friends, over beers, 
G9             F9             Eb9              Eb9 
homesick bout, bearings lost, friend comes by, “I am here” 


[Verso 4]


G9           F9                E9            Eb9 
Off to work, change the world, question all, start career, 
G9           F9            E9          Eb9 
find mentor, ask for help, they offer, “I am here” 


[Verso 5]


G9           F9            E9            Eb9 
Dinner date, romance born, life changes, my path veers, 
G9               F9             E9          Eb9 
your touch firm, upon my heart, in my arms, “I am here” 


[Verso 6]


G9         F9            E9             Eb9 
Tiny hand, holding mine, I’m in charge, love so dear, 
G9            F9        E9             Eb9 
you question, hesitate, take a chance, “I am here” 


[Verso 7]


G9          F9            E9              Eb9 
On a swing, learn to fly, a child’s laugh, to the ear, 
G9            F9                E9         Eb9 
sudden cloud, “where are you?”, I confirm, “I am here” 


[Verso 8]


G9             F9       E9           Eb9 
Now grown old, I worry, we may soon, disappear, 
G9            F9       E9              Eb9 
my best gift, I offer, hold your hand, “I am here”
