The end of the song repeats the last section after the Instrumental Bridge two times
and develops a Gospel feel to the music, with some background spoken vocals that support the message
of The Door. There is quite a bit of finger style articulation of the chord changes.
 
[Intro]
Bb  B  A G  D  A
 
[Verse 1]
A        E        A
I was down for so long
A          E            A
Everything I did was wrong
G             G
And I found fault
   D       E     A
In everyone but me
 
[Verse 2]
A         E      A
I was hurt and alone
  A                  E   A
I could not find my way home
G                     D
Broke-down and hungry
  D         E       A
And too tired to moan
 
[Chorus]
 C                    E  Em      E
Then I heard somebody calling my name
 F                         E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
 F                    D               A  E A
I found out that the door was always open
 
[Verse 3]
A                 E   A
I was trapped in my mind
 A                    A
A prisoner of my own design
G             D
Lost in a world
 D            E     A
A world of confusion
 
[Verse 4]
A                E    A
I was there by myself
A                       E      A
Couldn't find no help nowhere else
G                G          D
Thought I'd call up the hotline
 D               E     A
But there was nobody there
 
[Chorus]
A       C                         E
Then I heard somebody calling my name
 F                          E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
Am F                  D       A       A E
I found out that the door was always open
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
A     D   B     E    A    D   G  E
 
[Chorus]
F                        Am      E
Then I heard somebody calling my name
  F                  Am      E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
 C                  E            E    A
I found out that the door was always open
