F Am/E Gm
Hear my voice
Dm C A#
I came out of the woods by choice
F Am/E Gm
Shelter also gave us shade
Dm C F
In the dark I have no name
F Am/E Gm
So leave that click in my head
Dm C A#
I will remember the words that you said
F Am/E Gm
With a clouded mind and heavy heart
Dm C A#
But I am sure we'll see a new start
CHORUS
Dm C F A#
So when your hopes on fire
Dm C F A#
But you know your desire
Dm C
Don't hold a glass over the flame
F C A#
Don't let your heart grow cold
Dm C
I will call you by name
F C A#
I will share your load

You brought me out from the cold
