Verse 

G                    D                            C 
In the hour of my confession when no one else can see  
G                   D                    C 
In my deepest of depression, do you know me?  
G                          D                          C 
When the light was on the surface before the land was born  
G                        D                          C 
There was beauty in the darkness, no soul had been torn  

Em                           G*                C 
But tonight, if I slip I fall and this cannot be  
Em                           G*                    C 
Oh tonight, if I should call out, would you catch me?  

Bridge 

D                                         C 
No man is an island, but maybe some are stones.  
D                                            C 
And the water wears them down until they are alone  

Em                          G*               C 
But tonight If I start to sink, if I cannot swim  
Em                           G*                  C 
Oh tonight, If I start to drown, would you jump in?
