verse 1:
Am F
I had given up
C G
I didn?t know who to trust
Am F
So I designed a shell
C G
Kept me from heaven and hell
Am F
And I had hit a low
C G
Was all I let myself know
Am F
Yeah I had locked my heart
C E
I was imprisoned by dark
Am
You found me dressed in black
F C
Hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am
You took my hand in yours
F C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am
I thought life passed me by
F C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
G
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
Am
And then you crossed my path
F C
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G Am
Then you covered my heart in kisses

Am F
I was down for the count
C G
i was down i was out
Am F
And I had lost it all
C G
yes I was scared I was torn

I took to the night
C G
I?d given in to the fight
Am F
And I slipped further down

I felt like I had drowned

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

I was hopeless and broken

You opened the door for me

You set them free
