Verse: 
 
Am (for the whole verse) 
I feel weak, things get tough 
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up 
I'm no fool, but it's said 
You gotta walk a mile 'til you're outta my head 
 
Come within, tasty luck 
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up 
Can your life, give a damn 
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand 
 
 
 
|F      G     |Am       G|  
Lay me down in darkness 
F       G        Am     G 
Tell me what you see 
F        G        Am       G 
Love is where the heart is 
F                    G                            Am    G    
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need 
 
(Come on) 
 
F      G        Am       G 
Lay me down in darkness 
F       G        Am      G 
Tell me what you see 
F        G        Am       G 
Love is where the heart is 
F                    G                            Am    G 
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need 
(Come on) 
 
F                    G                            Am    G 
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need 
F                    G                            Am    G 
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need 
 
(Improvisation in the key of Aminor maybe?) 
 
F         G         Am            G    F         G 
I got the time, itll be alright, yeah, I got the time 
Am              G 
that you need (yeah) 
 
Verse: 
 
Am 
We all bleed, bleed the same 
If you get the picture, leave it outta the frame 
In the now, take a chance 
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance 
 
Come within, tasty luck 
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up 
Can your life, give a damn 
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand
