Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                       C
You were there from the start

G                 C
Right when I came apart

G             C                Am
You picked me up and helped me find

           D
All I left behind

G                  C
I was bloodied and beat

G                      C
I couldn't stand on my feet

G                     C                 Am
And I stared into the blackened morning sky

          D
Wondering why
[Chorus]
          G                D
How could you see all that I could be

       G                     C
When I stood there naked and torn?

           G                   D
You're the only one that never thought to run

         G                         C
Though I flood you with poison and scorn

C                  D
Don't know why you stay
But you keep the darkness away G C [Verse 2]
G                    C
All the world had me down

G                     C
I tried to swim but I drowned

G                   C                  Am
So I got down on my knees and began to pray

                D
But I heard you say

G                        C
"I know this wasn't your plan

G                         C
Open your eyes, here's my hand"

G          C                 Am
That early road you chose to take

            D
Was your mistake
[Chorus]
             G              D
'Cause baby, I see all that you could be

       G                     C
As you stand there naked and torn

        G               D
I'm the only one, never thought to run

           G                        C
Though you flood me with poison and scorn

C                 D
Forever here I'll stay
To keep your darkness away G C [Bridge]
Am      D            G           C
We're a pocket watch without any hands

Am           D             G     C      Am
No one could ever know what we begin to try

D           G          C
But I'll keep holding on

Am                D
'til your love is gone
[Chorus]
             G              D
'Cause baby, I see all that you could be

       G                     C
As you stand there naked and torn

        G                  D
I'm the only one who never thought to run

           G                        C
Though you flood me with poison and scorn

C                 D
Forever here I'll stay

                      G
To keep your darkness away

G  C
Ooh

C                 Am
Forever here I'll stay

D                      G
I'll keep the darkness away
