E
I've fallen through the floor again,
                  C#m
crashed into the basement
     G#m        B
Your pain was swallowing me
E
I was like a leper when
                C#m
I couldn't even get up towards
                    G#m        B
The lights from the door was swallowing me

E                               C#m
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
                            G#m
When you're standing on the edge
      B
I’m breaking down
E                               C#m
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
                          G#m
When you're hanging by a thread
        B
I was breaking down

Chorus:
          E                           C#m
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
                           G#m
Thought you'd abandoned me and
     B
Let go of my hand
E                      C#m
But you were carrying me
                   G#m
Carrying me to safety
     B                                  E
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
                    C#m
Two footprints, two footprints,
                       G#m
your footprints in the sand
     B
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Oh, I forgot the things I knew,
it was I who'd abandoned you
Forgive me, I was lost in doubt
You had never left my side,
picked me up when I thought I would die
You held me and I was found

Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge of breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
And I'm breaking down

Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and let go of my hand
But you were carrying me, carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Chorus
