              Intro: Em C G x8 
 
 
Verse: 
Em                C                G 
You stripped your love down to the wire 
Em           C             G    D 
Fire shy and cold alone outside 
Em              C                 G 
You stripped it right down to the wire 
Em              C                G    D 
But I see you behind those tired eyes 
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
           Em           C            G       
Now as you wade through shadows that live in your heart 
           Em             C      G   D 
You'll find the light that leads home 
            Em      C            G          
Cause I see you for you and your beautiful stars 
           Em    C         G   D 
So take my hand, don't let go 
 
 
 
           Em      C                 G 
Cause it's not too late, it's not too late 
Em           C            G    D 
I, I see the hope in your heart 
Em            C         G          
And sometimes you lose it, sometimes you're shooting 
Em     C             G    D 
Broken arrows in the dark 
Em                  
But I, I see the hope in your heart 
 
 
Interlude: 
Em C G Gm x8 
Em C G 
 
Verse: 
Em            C               G          
I've seen the darkness in the light 
Em                    C                   G     D 
The kind of blue that leaves you lost and blind 
Em       C                      G          
The only thing that's black and white 
Em                        C               G    D 
Is that you don't have to walk alone this time 
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
           Em        C          G          
We have to tear down walls that live in your heart 
Em              C        G    D 
To find someone you call home 
            Em     C          G          
Now you see me for me and my beautiful scars 
         Em      C         G   D 
So take my hand, don't let go 
 
 
 
 
           Em      C                 G 
Cause it's not too late, it's not too late 
Em           C            G    D 
I, I see the hope in your heart 
Em            C         G          
And sometimes you lose it, sometimes you're shooting 
Em     C             G    D 
Broken arrows in the dark 
Em                  
But I, I see the hope in your heart 
 
 
Interlude: 
Em C G Gm x8 
 
 
 
Coda: 
           Em      C                 G 
Cause it's not too late, it's not too late 
Em           C            G    D 
I, I see the hope in your heart 
Em            C         G          
And sometimes you lose it, sometimes you're shooting 
Em     C             G    D 
Broken arrows in the dark
