    Intro:      Em        C    Am   (2x)


 Verse: 
Em                                    C 
 I heard the words come out of your mouth again 
     Am 
 So quietly you said 
Em                           C 
 I need someone to hold my heart again 
          Am 
 Like it felt when I was just a kid 
Em                      C 
 Will you take me far away 
                   Am 
 From this fear that pulls me near? 
Em 
 Will you take it out? 
           C                 Am 
 What's inside of my mind, what's screaming out 


 Chorus:
