Chords with lyrics

CAPO: 1st fret

Intro: C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF  C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF

C majorC         ~    A minorAm
As a child I would wake at night
C majorC   ~       ~     A minorAm
I was scared, but I kept real quiet
FF              ~   A minorAm
Shadows on the walls moving in on me
  C majorC       ~       A minorAm   FF
And underneath my sheets I could barely breathe


  C majorC            ~    A minorAm
And your room was only just across a hall
C majorC         ~      ~   A minorAm
All it would have taken was a single call
  FF              ~    A minorAm
And maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves
    C majorC   ~  A minorAm    FF
Not to scream out loud and run like hell

 DmDm    A minorAm          G+G
Believe me, all the days you're unsure
 DmDm          A minorAm     G+G
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore
  DmDm      A minorAm         G+G
And in the dark, picture me in your mind
     DmDm
And I'll lay with you
C majorC     ~    G+G
You don't ever be scared at night


INTERLUDE: C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF  C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF


C majorC            ~    A minorAm
As a young man you were shooting rats
C majorC   ~         ~    A minorAm
By accident, you hit the farmyard cat
  FF              ~       A minorAm
He ran for the fields and came back the next day
    C majorC       ~         A minorAm   FF
You had blown out his eye and you could see his brain


   C majorC               ~     A minorAm
Your dad said, "Boy, there are some things in life
  C majorC       ~      ~    A minorAm
You don't want to do, but you know is right
  FF           ~     A minorAm
So take him out back and finish him off"
       C majorC    ~   A minorAm      FF
You got your gun off the shelf, it only took one shot

 DmDm    A minorAm          G+G
Believe me, all the days you're unsure
 DmDm          A minorAm     G+G
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore
  DmDm      A minorAm         G+G
And in the dark, picture me in your mind
     DmDm
And I'll lay with you
  C majorC     ~    G+G
So you don't ever be scared at night

   C majorC            ~   A minorAm
And I flew to Winnipeg on your final day
   C majorC       ~    ~   A minorAm
They said that you waited 'til I came
  FF                ~     A minorAm
We sang your favourite hymns and we held your hand
  C majorC             ~    FF
You took your final breath and that was that


  C majorC            ~   A minorAm
But I'd never seen a person die before
 C majorC    ~      ~    A minorAm
I tried so hard not to cry, you know
    FF              ~    A minorAm
'Cause maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves
   C majorC  ~  A minorAm     FF
That when you die you go someplace else


 DmDm    A minorAm          G+G
Believe me, all the days you're unsure
 DmDm          A minorAm     G+G
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore
  DmDm      A minorAm         G+G
And in the dark, picture me in your mind
     DmDm
And I'll lay with you
A minorAm        G+G     DmDm
You don't ever be scared at night
A minorAm        G+G     DmDm
You don't ever be scared at night
C majorC         G+G      C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF  C majorC ~ ~ G+G FF ~ C majorC
You don't ever be scared at night
