Em       D                   C
I had a way then losing it all on my own
        Em                 D                  C
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
    Em               D       C
And I’m not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
    Em              D       C
And I’m not keeping now the strength I need to push me
             Em                  D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    Em                 Am
You shine It when I’m alone
         Em               D
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
    Em                    Am
And dreaming when they’re gone
               Em                        D
’Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home
Em                        D
Calling, calling, calling home
             Em                  D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    Em                 D
You shine It when I’m alone

Em        D              C
Noises, I play within my head
         Em           D                         C
Touch my own skin and hope that I’m still breathing
    Em              D       C
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
Em             D         C
in an unlocked place the only time I feel safe
             Em                  D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    Em                 Am
You shine It when I’m alone
         Em               D
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
    Em                    Am
And dreaming when they’re gone
               Em                        D
’Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home
Em                        D
Calling, calling, calling home
             Em                  D
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    Em                 D
You shine It when I’m alone
