C     
I was alone in the dark,     
D7/C     
never let down my guard    
F/C                   C    
Closed the curtain on my heart    
So the world could not see,     
D7/C     
all the demons in me    
F/C            C    
Told myself I was free    
Em     
Then you showed me how     
F            G    
wrong I could be     


         C                      Am    
Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble    
                     F                      G    
That once was a wall,  took years to build around me    
       C                          Am    
And you came along and you tore it down     
                       F                         G    
Like it was nothing at all, now it's a little scary, learning to fall    

Solo:  C D7/C F/C C    


C     
When you looked in my eyes,     
D7/C     
past the fear and false pride    
 F                   C    
You saw goodness in--side    
I can't believe how I feel,     
D7     
I believe love is real    
 F             C    
And I'm ready to heal     
Em     
You show me how     
F        G    
right I can be     

     
         C                      Am    
Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble    
                     F                      G    
That once was a wall,  took years to build around me    
       C                          Am    
And you came along and you tore it down     
                       F                         G    
Like it was nothing at all, now it's a little scary, learning to fall

I was holding on, now I'm letting go
