G                      D
When you feel you're alone
Em7                 C
Cut off from this cruel world
G               D             C
Your instincts telling you to run

Listen to your heart
Those angel voices
They'll sing to you, they'll be your
guide back home

Chorus:
      G    D         Em7  C
When life leaves us blind
 G    D        C
Love keeps us kind
             G
It keeps us kind

When you've suffered enough
and your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight

Remember you're loved
and you always will be
This melody will bring you right back home

Chorus:
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
