VERSE 1
G D
Where did all the people go?
Em C
They got scared when the lights went low.
G D
I get you through it nice and slow,
Em C
When the world's spinning out of control.
G D
Afraid of what they might lose
Em C
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
G D
You could beg and what's the use
Em C
That's why it's called the moment of truth
CHORUS
G
I'd get it if you need it,
D
I'll search if you don't see it,
Em
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
C D
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
G
I know you don't believe it,
D
But I said it and I still mean it,
Em
When you heard what I told you,
C D
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
VERSE 2
G D
Funny when times get hard,
Em C
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
G D
We're always on the longest yard,
Em C
Oh they feel their feet get cold.

Find them underneath the stairs,

People hiding everywhere,

Trying to be still like a stone.
