             G            D 
Come pick me up from the night 
         Em7           Cadd9 
From the hands of the dark 
          G               D 
From the things I didn't know 
            Em7               Cadd9 
That would simply break your heart 
            G             D 
There were years in this room 
            Em7             Cadd9 
Blind and shattered in the glass 
        G        D 
Held it up to myself 
        Em7           Cadd9 
'til I just couldn't stand 
          
         Em7            G 
So don't ask me where I been 
        Cadd9           G 
'cause you don't wanna know 
          Em7            G 
And don't ask me who I'm seein' 
     D               G 
No, you don't wanna know 
       Em7          Cadd9      G            D         
Don't come around here when I need you the most 
          G   C    G            D 
Leave it alone, leave a little room for the holy ghost 

                 G           D 
And come take me out of the light 
        Em7          Cadd9 
I don't feel you anymore 
        G           D 
I came apart from myself 
              Em7         Cadd9 
And from the crosses you wore 
         G            D 
And the things in my soul 
         Em7          Cadd9 
Once my comfort and friend 
  G           D            Em7       Cadd9 
I came to the reason and I lost you again 

         Em7            G 
So don't ask me where I been 
        Cadd9           G 
'cause you don't wanna know 
          Em7            G 
And don't ask me who I'm seein' 
     D               G 
No, you don't wanna know 
       Em7          Cadd9      G            D         
Don't come around here when I need you the most 
          G   C    G            D 
Leave it alone, leave a little room for the holy ghost
