*Intro*

[G] Mmm… come a little closer now

[Em] Let all your worries melt somehow

[C] Baby, when your heart just needs release

[D] Lean into me and breathe

*Verse 1*

[G] When the shadows stretch across your day

[Em] And all the gentle colors fade to gray

[C] When you can't find strength to stand alone

[D] I’ll be your shelter, your steady home

[G] Darling, I’m here, just take my hand

[Em] I promise I will understand

[C] Every doubt and every plea

[D] Just lean into me

*Chorus*

[G] Lean into me, when the night gets long

[D] I’ll lift you up, keep your spirit strong

[Em] When the world feels heavy as can be

[C] Darling, lean into me

[G] Through every trial, through every stormy sea

[D] Know you’ve got a place to be

[Em] Safe in a love that always sets you free

[C] Just lean into me

*Verse 2*

[G] When your voice is trembling on the line

[Em] And you’re reaching out for any sign

[C] I’ll be the warmth that pulls you through

[D] I’ll steady every step for you

[G] When the sky above begins to fall

[Em] I’ll stand beside you through it all

[C] No matter how lost you feel or seem

[D] Lean into me, lean into me

*Chorus*

[G] Lean into me, when the worries rise

[D] I’ll be your truth among the lies

[Em] When the road gets rough, just come and see

[C] That you can lean on me

[G] If your strength runs low, your spirit weak

[D] Baby, let my heartbeat speak

[Em] I’ll be the calm where your soul longs to be

[C] Darling, lean into me

*Bridge*

[Em] If the world forgets the love you give

[D] I’ll remind you how you’re meant to live

[C] Should the storms blow wild and free

[D] Hold tight and lean on me

[Em] Even when your hope feels thin

[D] I’ll help you start again

*Chorus*

[G] Lean into me, when the night grows cold

[D] I’ll keep you warm in my arms to hold

[Em] Through every tear, through every plea

[C] You can lean into me

[G] Oh, the world may shift and rearrange

[D] But our love will never change

[Em] Darling, I’m yours for eternity

[C] Just lean into me…

*Outro Vocal*

[G] Ooooh, lean into me

[Em] Baby, lean into me

[C] When your heart needs somewhere safe to be

[D] Just lean into me…

*Guitar + Saxophone Extended Solo*

*Duet Breakdown Verse*

[G] Baby, when the night feels far too wide

[Em] I’ll be the whisper right by your side

[C] Hearts like ours were meant to be

[D] Intertwined so endlessly

*Final Chorus*

[G] Lean into me, when you’re losing ground

[D] I’ll lift you up, turn it all around

[Em] When the darkness whispers painfully

[C] Darling, lean into me

[G] Through every joy, through every memory

[D] We’ll write a love that’s meant to be

[Em] Hold on tight, you’ll always have the key

[C] Just lean into me…
