         G               D 
If this world is wearing thin

I'll go anywhere with you  

     C              D 
Just wrap me up in chains  

           Em         C 
But if you try to go alone

Don't think I'll understand

In the silence of your room

In the darkness of your dreams  

         G             D 
You must only think of me  

          C          D 
There can be no in between

When your pride is on the floor

I'll make you beg for more Woah

              Em 
You'd better hope and pray

That you make it safe  

             D 
Back to your own world  

              Em

That you wake one day

In your own world

You'd better hope and pray 

            C 
That you'll wake one day 

         D 
In your own world 

              Em 
Coz when you sleep at night 

      C 
They don't hear your cries 

        D 
In your own world 

      Em 
Only time will tell 

           C 
If you can break the spell 

             D 
Back in your own world
