     C  C/B Am          Am  F       C
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
  C C/B Am              Am        F      C
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
         C  C/B Am        Am  F      C
But you saw no fault no crack in my heart
           C C/B Am      Am   F     C
And you kneel beside my hope torn apart

          E7            Am        E7           Am
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
           F       G   C
And we’ll live a long life

Chorus:
            F           C            G/B             C
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
      F        C              G/B
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
    Am     G/B      F           C
But I will hold as long as you like
       F        G/B       Am   F Am G
Just promise me we’ll be alright

So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
And we'll share my all
And our children come and they will hear me roar

Chorus

     Am            F                    C
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
     Am            F                     C
And hold me still bury my heart next to yours

Chorus:
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
But I will hold with all of my might (as long as you like)
Just promise me we'll be all right

Ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
But we'll live a long life
And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
