[Verse]
C G
It's a long, dark river my boat sails on
Am Em
Down to the murky sea
F C
Where a beam of goodness in your heart
F G
Serves to comfort me
C G
It's a distant, magical land I seek
Am Em
A desperate refugee
F C
A rebel who has lost his way
F G
But found the buried key
[Chorus]
F D
So it's alright
Em Am
Love won't let you down
F D
Safe on a good night
G C
Stranger comes to town
[Verse]
C G
If you find him wearing his old tin hat
Am Em
Beware the common saint
F C
Who could lead you down a reckless path
F G
To where the good guys ain't
C G
We could hold each other in common prayer
Am Em
Our babies close at hand
F C
We could live like drifters Rolling on
F G
Towards the promised land
[Chorus]
F D
So it's alright
Em Am
If love don't let you down
F D
Safe on a good night

Sir, don't let me down
Am Em
Please let me breathe

God won't let me down

He knows I wanna please

Em Am
If love don't let you down

Safe on a good night

Stranger comes to town
[Bridge]
C G
Sir, don't let me down
Am Em
Please let me breathe
F D
God won't let me down
G C
He knows I wanna please
[Verse]
C G
I could close my compass and sail on free
Am Em
And find the missing men
F C
Oh, I could lose my bearings like before
F G
And lose myself again
C G
When you find yourself in a crowded wood
Am Em
With no way through the trees
F C
And that old, sweet promise of something good
F G
Pulls you to your knees
[Outro]
F D
Well it's alright
Em Am
If love don't let you down

Safe on a good night
