Chords

[Verse 1]
          G
Does the darkness ever get brighter?

        Am
'Cause I'm gettin' tired of all

                C
of the shadows around me

                        Cm      Cdim F#dim
Wish they'd forget all about me

          G
Does the heartache ever heal faster?

        Am
'Cause mine's torn and fractured

                                  C
And time's just a plaster that's aging

                               Cm    Cdim
I feel all its walls slowly breaking
[Chorus]
     G     Dm
But you, you,

                    C
you're the angel I needed

                               D
That sent all my demons runnin',

      Dsus4
runnin'

    G      Dm
But you, you,

                        C
you're the hope that I needed

                                   D
When all that I needed was somethin'

         Dsus4
Was someonе

                         G
to tell me that therе's light out here

        G
(Light out here)
Dm C D [Verse 2]
         G     N.C.    G
Oh, the world looks so bitter and broken

     Dm
When my eyes are opened

                                   C
So I'll keep them closed when the light falls

                          D
Sing in my head 'til the night falls (Mm)
[Chorus]
     G  N.C.    Dm
But you,      you,

                    C
you're the angel I needed

                               D
That sent all my demons runnin',

      Dsus4
runnin'

     G     Dm
But you, you,

                         C
you're the hope that I needed

                                  D
When all that I needed was somethin'

         Dsus4
Was someone

    N.C.                  G
to tell me that there's light out here
[Post-Chorus]
             D
Just close your eyes, my dear

            N.C.            C
And as you gaze into the darkness

              D
I promise my heart is

                    G  Dm
lookin' back at you

                       C
(I’m Looking Back At You)
D Dsus G
