[Intro]
 
C  C  G  G7  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                           G G7
 you can’t be by yourself 
C                           G G7
 you can’t be by yourself 
     F
they kept you in the dark 
in a room with nothing sharp
     G
until you were well 
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                              G G7
 you told me that you were so 
C                           G G7
 scared of what they know 
    F
but love isn’t afraid 
love is using your first name
      G
in the poems that I wrote 
 
 
[Break]
 
C  C  G  G7  x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                     G G7
 follow me to a home 
C                       G G7
 abandoned at the shore 
          F
there’s a story on the walls 
written in marker across the halls
     G
that you’ll adore 
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
C                           G G7
 and no one can see us now 
C                                G G7
 like the sun behind the clouds 
      F
lets grab a drink for lunch 
and wash out the taste of blood
         G
from our guilty mouths 
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
         F
when you stepped into the light 
I saw it running down your thighs
            G
and thought what a beautiful sight 
to see you alive
 
 
[Outro]
