Verse 1
Am 
F 
Close my eyes and drift into the silence
Dm 
Barely see the ultraviolet
F 
Slipped and fell into the deep end
Am 
Oh, the sidewalks shimmer
F 
just like diamonds
Dm 
All the empty words were flying
Well, the heart was low
F 
but I never was alone

I never was alone
Am 
C 
Dm 
F 
I've been running for so long
Dm

All that's left is skin and bones
Dm 
F 
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Am 
C 
Dm 
F 
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Dm 
F 
If I stumble, will I fall?
Dm 
F 
If I fall I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love light
guide me home

Verse 2
Let the love light guide me home
Am 
F 
Washed and fades and falls into another
Dm 
I'm not getting any further
F 
Left you feeling like an alien
Am 
F 
Oh, the sidewalks, they were lying
Dm 
Lost myself while I was hiding
And the heart was low
F 
but I never was alone

Chorus 2
I never was alone
Am 
C 
Dm

I've been running for so long

Dm 
F 
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Dm 
F 
If I stumble, will I fall?

If I fall I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love light
guide me home

Bridge 1
Dm 
F 
Hearts are empty almost all the time
Dm 
F 
Blind devising ways to lead the blind
Dm 
F 
And it seems as if there's no end in sight
Dm 
I don't wanna be there
F 
when it all goes down
Dm 
But if I gotta be there
F 
don't let me hit the ground

Chorus 3
'Til I hit the ground
Am 
C 
Dm 
F 
I've been running for so long
Dm 
F 
All that's left is skin and bones
Dm 
F 
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Am 
C 
Dm 
F 
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Dm 
F 
If I stumble, will I fall?
Dm 
F 
If I fall I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love light
guide me home
Let the love light guide me home
Let the love light guide me home
