[Intro]
 
G  D  Em7  C
G  D  C  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                       D
  When you feel you're alone
Em7                 C
  Cut off from this cruel world
G                D             C
  Your instincts telling you to run
G                D
  listen to your heart
Em7           C
  those angel voices
G                 D                    C
  they'll sing to you, they'll be your guide back home
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
     G    D         Em7    C
when life leaves us blind
G    D        C
love keeps us kind
            G
it keeps us kind
 
D  Em7  C
G  D  C  C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                    D
  When you suffered enough
Em7                       C
  and your spirit is breaking
G                D                  C
  you're growing desperate from the fights
G                 D
  remember you're loved
Em7                   C
  and you always will be
G          D                 C
  this melody will bring you right back home
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     G    D         Em7 C
when life leaves us blind
G    D        C
love keeps us kind
 
 
     G    D         Em7  C
when life leaves us blind
G    D        C
love keeps us kind
 
 
[Outro]
 
  G      D
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO
  Em7    C
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO
  G      D        C
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO-OOOOOO
 
  G      D
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO
  Em7    C
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO
  G      D        C
O-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO-OOOOOO

I'm not sure what key it's in but I sing it an octave lower cause I don't have Chester's awesome pipes.
