VERSE 1:
 
G 
  We keep heading in the same direction 
Cadd9 
  You've become my own reflection 
Em 
  Is that your soul that you're trying to protect

  You need time to cope and time to heal 
Cadd9 
  Time to cry if it's what you feel 
Em 
  Oh, life can hurt, when it gets too real 
Cadd9 
  I can hold you up when it's hard to deal

Cadd9 
  When the truth that you seek isn't in this crowd
