[Capo on 4th fret]
(Am) Em D C Am
I had a way then losing it all on my own
Em D C Am
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
Em D C Am
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
Em D C Am
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
Chorus:
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
C Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
C Am
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone

Em D C Am
Noises, I play within my head
Em D C Am
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
Em D C Am
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
Em D C Am
in an unlocked place the only time I feel safe
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
C Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
C Am
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em
Home
Interlude
Em, D, C, Am (repeat)
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone
Em D
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
C Am
And dreaming when they're gone
Em D
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
C Am
Calling, calling, calling home
Em D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
C Am
You shine It when I'm alone
