By Brandi Carlile [Verse]
G                          Em                         C
I went out looking for the answers, and never left my town

                     G                                 D
I'm no good at understanding, but I'm good at standing ground

G                         Em                                   C
And when I asked a corner preacher, I couldn't hear him for my youth

                  G                           D
Some people get religion, some people get the truth

                C                      G
I never get the truth, I never get the truth
[Chorus]
Bm                           C                             G
I know the darkness pulls on you, but it's just a point of view

                            D                         Em
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone

                              C                        A
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end

                              C                       G
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
[Verse]
G                            Em                                 C
I laid a suitcase on my chest, so I could feel somebody's weight

                    G                                    D
And I laid you to rest, just to feel the give and take

G                  Em                                    C
I got a new interpretation, and it's a better point of view

                                 G                               D
While you were looking for a landslide, I was looking out for you

                         C                                   G
I was looking out for you, someone's looking out for you
[Chorus]
Bm                           C                             G
I know the darkness pulls on you, but it's just a point of view

                            D                         Em
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone

                              C                        A
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end

                              C                       G
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
[Verse]
G                             Em                     C
I am afraid of crossing lines, I am afraid of flying blind

                        G                                  D
Afraid of inquiring minds, afraid of being left behind

G                              Em                             C
I close my eyes, I think of you; I take a step, I think of you

                                  G                             D
I catch my breath, I think of you; I cannot rest, I think of you
[Chorus]
Bm                       C                                    G
My one and only wrecking ball, and you're crashing through my walls

                            D                         Em
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone

                              C                        A
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end

                              C                       G
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
