Intro: F  Dm  C  Bb  (x2) 

Verse: 1 
Dm                     Bb  
  If I could tell you "no" 
F                                C 
  I thought it best you didn't know 
Dm                    Bb  
  Don't see it coming 
F                    C 
  The darkness visible 
Dm                       Bb  
  But when its eyes fix mine 
F                     C 
  The silver in its stone 
Dm                  Bb  
  I feel it rising, oh 
F                 C 
  The gathering storm 

Pre-Chorus 
Bb                               C           
 And when I feel in darkness is a heartbeat away 
     Dm 
And I don't know how to fight it 
     C            
It's a heartbeat away and now 
Bb  
 You don't know me like this 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away 
     Dm  
And I don't know how to hide it 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away 

 
               F 
And I picture you 
           Dm 
Soaked in light 
           C 
I picture you 
        Bb  
And in you I had no doubt 
           Dm 
When the chaos calls me out 
        F                                 C 
And it feels like there is nothing I can do 
           F 
I picture you

Verse: 2 
Dm                     Bb  
  And the night falls fast 
F                            C 
  I know it's heavy on the skin 
Dm                  Bb  
  Will it be ever thus? 
F                      C 
  They're barely visible 
Dm                        Bb  
  But when your eyes fix mine 
F                  C 
  Embracing you tonight 
Dm                 Bb  
  Well I hold my breath 
F                             C 
  Through the waste and the while 

Pre-Chorus 
Bb  
When I feel it rising 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away 
      Dm  
And I don't know how to fight it 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away and now 
Bb  
You don't know me like this 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away 
      Dm  
And I don't know how to fight it 
      C            
It's a heartbeat away 

 
               F 
And I picture you 
           Dm 
Soaked in light 
           C 
I picture you 
        Bb  
And in you I had no doubt 
           Dm 
When the chaos calls me out 
        F                                 C 
And it feels like there is nothing I can do 
           F 
I picture you
