Am F Close my eyes and drift into the silence Dm Barely see the ultraviolet F Slipped and fell into the deep end Am F Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds Dm All the empty words were flying F Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone I never was alone Chorus: Am C Dm F I've been running for so long Dm F All that's left is skin and bones Dm F Close my eyes, fight to carry on Am C Dm F Sometimes it makes no sense at all Dm F If I stumble, will I fall? Dm F If I fall, I'll tuck and roll F Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home Let the love-light guide me home One step fades and falls into another I'm not getting any further Left here feeling like an alien All the shiny sidewalks, they were lying Lost myself while I was hiding And the heart was low, but I never was alone I never was alone Chorus Dm F Hearts are empty almost all the time Dm F Blind devising ways to lead the blind Dm F And it seems as if there's no end in sight Dm F I don't wanna be there when it all goes down Dm But if I gotta be there, F don't let me hit the ground Can I hit the ground?
