[G] You [G]saw my [Em]pain, washed out [C]in the [G]rain [G]Broken [Em]glass, saw the blood run [C]from my [G]veins But you [G]saw no [Em]fault no crack in [C]my [G]heart [G]And you [Em]kneel beside my [C]hope torn [G]apart

But the [B]ghosts that we [Em]knew will [B]flicker from [Em]you And we’ll [C]live a [D]long [G]life

So give me [C]hope in the [G]darkness that [D]I will see the [G]light Cause [C]oh that [G]gave me such a [D]fright, but [Em]I will [D]hold as [C]long as you [G]like Just [C]promise me [D]we’ll be [Em]alright [C] [Em] [D]

So [G]lead me [Em]back, [Em]turn [C]south from that [G]place And [G]close my [Em]eyes from my [C]recent [G]disgrace Cause you [G]know my [Em]call, [Em]we’ll [C]share my [G]all [G]Now children [Em]come and they will [C]hear me [G]roar

So give me [C]hope in the [G]darkness that [D]I will see the [G]light Cause [C]oh that [G]gave me such a [D]fright, but [Em]I will [D]hold as [C]long as you [G]like Just [C]promise me [D]we’ll be [Em]alright [C] [G] [Am] [C] [G]

But [Em]hold me still [C]bury my heart on the [G]cold And [Em]hold me still [C]bury my heart next to [G]yours

So give me [C]hope in the [G]darkness that [D]I will see the [G]light Cause [C]oh that [G]gave me such a [D]fright, but [Em]I will [D]hold as [C]long as you [G]like Just [C]promise me [D]we’ll be [G]alright

But the [B]ghosts that we [Em]knew will [B]flicker from [Em]you And we’ll [C]live a [D]long [G]life
