Tom: F
[Intro] Am F Dm F
[Verso 1]
Am F
Close my eyes and drift into the silence
Dm
Barely see the ultraviolet
F
Slipped and fell into the deep end
Am F
Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds
Dm
All the empty words were flying
F
Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone
I never was alone
[Refrão]
Am C Dm F
I've been running for so long
Dm F
All that's left is skin and bones
Dm F
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Am C Dm F
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Dm F
If I stumble, will I fall?
Dm F
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
Dm
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
[Próxima Parte]
Dm
Let the love-light guide me home
[Verso 2]
Am F
One step fades and falls into another
Dm
I'm not getting any further
F
Left you feeling like an alien
Am F
All the shining sidewalks, they were lying
Dm
Lost myself while I was hiding
F
And the heart was low, but I never was alone
F
I never was alone
[Refrão]
Am C Dm F
I've been running for so long
[Próxima Parte]
Dm
Let the love-light guide me home
( Am F Dm F )
[Ponte]
Dm F
Hearts are empty almost all the time
Dm F
Blind devising ways to lead the blind
Dm F
And it seems as if there's no end in sight
Dm F
I don't wanna be there when it all goes down
Dm F
But if I gotta be there, don't let me hit the ground
F
Can I hit the ground?
[Refrão]
Am C Dm F
I've been running for so long
[Próxima Parte]
Dm
Let the love-light guide me home
