Em       G          Cmaj7         Bm 
Holding, you close, feels like, a cut-throat, 
Em         G             Cmaj7         Bm 
Losing blood, the weakness of, falling in love, 

Em         G                  Cmaj7  Bm 
And I was never afraid of the dark,

Until you, oh the weapon you make of my heart,

Until you, oh the weapon you make of my heart,

Resisting, your soul, is walking, a tightrope, 
Em           G                  Cmaj7               Bm 
The distant sound, of dangerous ground, wolves are calling, 

Em         G                  Cmaj7         
And I was never afraid of the dark, 
         Bm         
No I was never afraid

And it’s true, I was never afraid of the dark, 
Em         G                  Cmaj7         
And I was never afraid of the dark, 
         Bm         
No I was never afraid 
       Em          G                   Cmaj7    Bm 
Until you, oh the weapon you make of my heart, 

Em       G          Cmaj7   Bm 
Love is believing,  
Em       G          Cmaj7   Bm 
love is believing…
