Chords

The end of the song repeats the last section after the Instrumental Bridge two times and develops a Gospel feel to the music, with some background spoken vocals that support the message of The Door. There is quite a bit of finger style articulation of the chord changes. [Intro] Bb B A G D A [Verse 1]
A        E        A
I was down for so long

A          E            A
Everything I did was wrong

G             G
And I found fault

   D       E     A
In everyone but me
[Verse 2]
A         E      A
I was hurt and alone

  A                  E   A
I could not find my way home

G                     D
Broke-down and hungry

  D         E       A
And too tired to moan
[Chorus]
 C                    E  Em      E
Then I heard somebody calling my name

 F                         E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed

 F                    D               A  E A
I found out that the door was always open
[Verse 3]
A                 E   A
I was trapped in my mind

 A                    A
A prisoner of my own design

G             D 
Lost in a world

 D            E     A
A world of confusion
[Verse 4]
A                E    A
I was there by myself

A                       E      A
Couldn't find no help nowhere else

G                G          D
Thought I'd call up the hotline

 D               E     A
But there was nobody there
[Chorus]
A       C                         E
Then I heard somebody calling my name

 F                          E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed

Am F                  D       A       A E
I found out that the door was always open
[Instrumental Bridge] A D B E A D G E [Chorus]
F                        Am      E
Then I heard somebody calling my name

  F                  Am      E
Saying ain't no need to be shamed

 C                  E            E    A
I found out that the door was always open
