Capo on 4th fret
              
 
 
        Am         C 
I had a way then  
              Fmaj7 
losing it all on my own  
        Am            C 
I had a heart then  
        Fmaj7                                                 
but the queen has been overthrown  
    Am                 C                                    
And I'm not sleeping now  
    Fmaj7                                                     
the dark is too hard to beat 
    Am              C       Fmaj7                               
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me  
             Am                  C                          
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone  
    Fmaj7                                                     
You shine It when I'm alone 
         Am               C                                 
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong  
    Fmaj7                                                     
And dreaming when they're gone  
               Am                                         
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home  
C                                                         
Calling, calling, calling home  
             Am                  C                          
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone  
    Fmaj7                                                     
You shine it when I'm alone                                                         
 
And then that?s it for the rest of the song. Enjoy!
