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
