          E        B
When you feel all alone
         C#m                   A
And the world has turned it's back on you
 E                 B        C#m                 A
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
E           B             C#m              A
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
      E              B       C#m               A
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
      C#m          A        B            C#m
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like
           D       A
you can't take anymore

Chorus:
E                      B
Let me be the one you call
        A                    E
If you jump I'll break your fall
                     C#m          B
Lift you up and fly away with you in the night
E                     B
If you need to fall apart
       A             E
I can mend a broken heart
                          C#m
If you need to crash then crash and burn
        B       E  B  C#m  A
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day

Chorus

                  A            B             C#m
Because there has always been heartache and pain
                  D             A       E   B
And when it's all over you'll breathe again
                 C#m A B E B C#m A B
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Chorus - x4
