            D           Gm
There's a place that I know
           D                             Gm
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
              Bm
If I show it to you now
                  Gm
Will it make you run away
              D
Or will you stay
            Gm
Even if it hurts
            D
Even if I try to push you out
            Gm
Will you return
                     Bm
And remind me who I really am
                        Gm
Please remind me who I really am

Chorus:
Bm                 D
Everybody's got a dark side
        G
Do you love me
         Em
Can you love mine
 Bm                 D
Nobody's a picture perfect
           G
But we're worth it
                     Em
You know that we're worth it
          Bm
Will you love me
             Gm
Even with my dark side

Like a diamond from black dust
It's hard to know what can become if you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

Chorus

D
Don't run away
            G
Don't run away
                            Bm
Just tell me that you will stay
                      G
Promise me you will stay
D
Don't run away
            G
Don't run away
                           Bm
Just promise me you will stay
                      G
Promise me you will stay
          Bm       Gm
Will you love me, ohh

Chorus

Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, promise you'll stay
