[Intro]
Gm
 
[Verse]
Gm
Have no fear
              F
For when I'm alone
                                C
I'll be better off than I was before
 
     Gm
I've got this light
         F
I'll be around to grow
 
Who I was before
   C
I cannot recall
 
[Chorus]
Bb              Am             Dm
Long nights allow me to feel...
                G7
I'm falling...I am falling
Bb               Am
The lights go out
Dm
Let me feel...I'm falling
G7            Bb                 Am          Dm (Rhy Fig 1)
I am falling safely to... the ground...Ah
 
[Verse]
     Gm                             F
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
 
Like a brand new friend
     C
I'll forever know
 
     Gm
I've got this light
           F
And the will to show
                                C
I will always be better than before
 
[Chorus]
Bb               Am               Dm
Long nights allow me to feel...
               G7
I'm falling...I am falling
Bb             Am
The lights go out
Dm
Let me feel...I'm falling
G7             Bb              Am
I am falling safely to... the ground

transpose it 5 steps down, capo on 5 so starting with Dm. much easier.

Thanks for the chords, but could you post up the strum pattern. Sounds similar to "Gauranteed" off the same album.
