[Verse 1]
Em
Tonight I'm so alone

D/F#
This sorrow takes a hold

C/G                         D
Don't leave me, it's so cold

Em
Never wanna be so cold

D
Your touch used to be so kind

C
Your touch used to give me life

                     C
I've waited all this time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                    C
I've wasted so much time

               D/A
Don't leave me alone

Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?

Falling inside the black

Falling inside, falling inside

          Em
The black
[Verse 2]
Em
You were my source of strength

D/F#
I've traded everything

C/G                           D
That I love for this one thing

                    Em
Stranded in the offering

N.C.                           D/F#
Don't leave me here like this

N.C.                                C/G
Can't hear me scream from the abyss

                   D
And now I wish for you, my desire
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Don't leave me alone
