Intro: Em Bm C Em D 

Em                        Bm 
Take my hand and lead the way 

C                       Em                    D 
Out of the darkness and into the light of the day 

Em                            Bm 
Take me somewhere I'll be safe 

C                 Em                 D 
Carry my lifeless body away from the pain 



         G   
'Cause I know what I've been missing 

      C 
And I know that I should try 

            Em 
But there's hope in this admission 

            D 
And there's freedom in your eyes 


Em     C    D  
And we cry away 


Em                          Bm  
I'm sick and tired of being afraid 

     C                   Em                 D 
If I cry anymore then my tears will wash me away 

Em                          Bm 
But when I hear you call my name 

  C                        Em                     D 
I whisper the word that I never thought I'd ever say 
  

      G             
And I hope to God you'll listen 

           C 
And you'll keep me safe from harm 

         Em 
'Cause I found what I was missing 

       D 
When I fell into your arms 


Em     C    D  
And we cry away 



Interlude: Em, C, G, D (2x) 
  

Em                      C      (Cadd9)  
I can feel the darkness coming 

        G            D 
And I'm afraid of myself 

Em                         C        (Cadd9) 
Call my name and I'll come running 

       G                D      
'Cause I just need some help   (2x) 


Solo: Em C (Cadd9)  G D (2x)
