CAPO I
[Verse]
G He took me hiking Em out in the woods G D Out back in the woods near our house Em G Peter James made a fire Em G didn't use any matches Em G I thought it was magic Em G D I thought it would never go out G I sat and listened Em stared at the sky G D he taught me to find the north star Em G Peter James was a vision Em G how he'd sit in his sadness Em G D so tenderly pressing his scars
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G “Pain is good,” he said, Em G “Hurt is real, Em G Am D to live is to feel every ache that you feel”
[Chorus]
and I wanted to
Em G sit in the dark with him Em D in the dark with him Am G Em D Am bound in a blanket of soothing despair Am G in the dark with him Em D in the dark with him Am G no one and nothing Em D G could break through his darkness out there
G D Em G
[Verse 2]
G I thought I had to Em push through the pain G D push hard through the pain til it breaks Em G but he embraces the sorrow Em G holds it close for protection Em G D a mand who resists being saved
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em Bm Pain is good he thinks (I know…) Em G Bm hurt is real.(but, oh,) Em G Am D I want to feel all the ache I can feel...
[Chorus]
I want to
Em G sit in the dark with him Em D in the dark with him Am G Em D Am take back a lifetime of tears never cried Am G in the dark with him Em D in the dark with him Am G no one and nothing Em D G can break through this darkness inside
G D Em
G D Em
[Bridge]
Em there is something so pure G how he shuns the world Em G Em like his darkness might be my reprieve Em G Em G every warning I've heard turns to dust with his words Em G there is no room for doubt Em G D if I tune it all out and believe
[Chorus]
Em I want to believe G in the dark Em D in the dark! Am G Em D Am bound in a blanket of soothing despair Am G in the dark with him Em D in the dark with him Am G Em D no one and nothing can break through Am G Em D no one and nothing can break through the darkness Am G Em D no, there's nothing can break through
