You, you won't talk about what we see when the lights are out
C Am G F
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost, while you're so full of doubt
C Am G F
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends, I'll find you there, I'll find you there
C Am G F
You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
C Am G F
And I, I see through small red eyes, glowing still at your uncertainty
C Am G F
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will, I know you will
C
And I'll find you
Am
And I'll find you there
G
papapapa...
