Em                        Bm
Take my hand and lead the way
C                       Em                     D
Out of the darkness and into the light of the day
Em                         Bm
Take me somewhere I'll be safe
C                  Em                 D
Carry my lifeless body away from the pain

           G
'Cause I know what I've been missing
        C
And I know that I should try
            Em
But there's hope in this admission
              D
And there's freedom in your eyes

Chorus:
        Em C  D
And we cry  away

I'm sick and tired of being afraid
If I cry any more then my tears will wash me away
But when I hear you call my name
I whisper the word that I never thought I'd ever say

I'm sick and tired of being afraid
If I cry any more then my tears will wash me away
But when I hear you call my name
I whisper the word that I never thought I'd ever say

And I hope to God you'll listen
And you'll keep me safe from harm
Cos I found what I was missing
When I fell into your arms

Chorus

I can feel the darkness coming
And I'm afraid of myself
Call my name and I'll come running
Cos I just need some help

I can feel the darkness coming
And I'm afraid of myself
Call my name and I'll come running
Cos I just need some help
