        Bm                   A     Bm         A Bm
In the dead of the night I stop to lose control
       Bm                              A      Bm
But I still carry the weight like I've always done
      A Bm
before
            Bm                  A        Bm     A Bm
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
          Bm                 A         Bm       A Bm
I got to stay on track just like pops told me to

Chorus:
                           Em   D
I really don't think you know
       A        G     F#m
There could be Hell below below
                      Em D
I really do hope you know
       A        G     F#m    F#
There could be Hell below below

When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really
glow
Like a dream I had before my world turned blue
When the light inside would only shine for you

Chorus - x2
