verse 1
D G D
There's a truth I need to trust
G D G D G
But I can't remember how
D G D
It's stuck there in the stillness
G D G D G
But the noise is too damn loud
G D/F# Em
And I thought I was an actor
G D/F# Em
I'd let my colors show
D G
But what if I'm just a bastard
D G
Laying low inside your radio
D G D G
verse 2
D G D
Won't you help me make a fist
G D G D
And choke the poison back

We'll close our eyes each godforsaken time
G D G D G
The world gets painted black
G D/F# Em
And we'll wonder where it comes from
G D/F# Em
How the pain cuts through the pride
D G D
When the tools we use to fix ourselves
G D G D G
Are just the fools we stood beside

I need you

Devotion strong but tender
G D G D G
Devotion dark and cold

Devotion like an anchor
G D G D G
Swinging from my soul

I used to miss my cues

Oh, I don't need an answer

D G D
So bring my all your questions
G D G D G
Bring me all your doubts
D G D
Don't let me meet the devil
G D G D G
That I sang those songs about
G D/F# Em
Cause the hounds of youth are howling

And you're all I've got to trust

With heaven's lonely ghetto
G D G D
Up there crying down on us

But love is not an answer

Oh, I don't need an answer

I need you

I need you
