You'll Be Safe Here

This week has been really tough for me. Good thing I was able to destress a bit last night. Went malling with Rej and Amy. Good find for the night: piano piece (Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini which was featured in my fave movie of all time). Tried out Pizza Hut's salad bar. My second time. I really dig their salad. The cheese puffs were surprisingly tasty. There's this bell you're supposed to ring if you had a good time. Fetus version of the church bell. They dared me do it. Was game enough to ring it thrice. There's actually a cute story behind the ringing of the bell but I'm still contemplating on whether or not to share it here. Checked out the Kamiseta sale. Rej (certified shopaholic) got really disappointed 'coz shoppers were not allowed to try on the clothes on sale. Oh well. Went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for the much-awaited sharing of "thought-provoking" questions (Rej, what was yours? Oh. After a looonnng pause, my good friend Rej asked "May nakatira kaya sa buliding na 'yan?" pointing to an old building across the street. Wow. So profound. Hehe. I think her cold choco beverage's the culprit.), gossiping and soul-baring. Cheryl followed but missed the juicier stories. Better luck next time, gossip queen. Hehe.
Domo arigato gozaimasu to everyone who helped me get through this hellish week. My heartfelt thanks to Matel, Miguel (Mitch), Glenn, Vladimir (Buddy), Rej, Mia, Cheryl, Amy, Gie, Nikki, Ann and everyone who included my aunt in their prayers. This song reminds me so much of the comfort you've brought me.
You'll Be Safe Here
Dm
Nobody knows
Am G
Just why we're here
Dm
Could it be fate
Am G
Or random circumstance
Dm
At the right place
Am G
At the right time
F
Two roads intertwined
(stanza chords)
And if the universe conspired
To melt our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall i be
Chorus:
F C
Close your eyes
G
Dry your tears
Dm F
'coz when nothing seems clear
C
You'll be safe here
G
From the sheer weight
Dm
Of your doubts and fears
F or E
Weary heart
C
You'll be safe here
(stanza chords)
Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong
And though the world won't
Ever understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free
Pray and believe
Chorus:
(same as first chorus' chords )
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
(interlude)
C G A# Am G#m G C
(chorus chords)
Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You'll be safe here
When no one understands
I'll believe
You'll be safe
You'll be safe
You'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here
