Intro: Em C G Am (2x) 
 
Verse 1:
 
Em 
There's gotta be another way out  
C 
I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt 
G                          Am 
I've tried forever getting out on my own 
Em 
But every time I do this my way  
C 
I get caught in the lies of the enemy 
G 
I lay my troubles down  
    Am 
I'm ready for you now. 
 
 
  
         Em 
Bring me out 
              C                  G 
come and find me in the dark now 
              Am                Em 
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down 
        C           G     Am              
I don't wanna fight alone anymore 
         Em 
Bring me out 
         C                     G 
from the prison of my own pride 
                Am             Em 
My God I need a hope I can't deny 
               C        G 
In the end I'm realizing  
                      Am             Em C G Am (2x) 
I was never meant to fight on my own 
 
Verse2:
 
Em                                   C 
Every little thing that I've known is every thing I need to let go 
G                              Am 
You're so much bigger than the world I've made 
Em 
So I surrender my soul 
C 
I'm reaching out for your hope 
G 
I lay my weapons down  
A 
I'm ready for you now. 
 
 
         Em 
Bring me out 
              C                  G 
come and find me in the dark now 
              Am                Em 
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down 
        C           G     Am              
I don't wanna fight alone anymore 
         Em 
Bring me out 
         C                     G 
from the prison of my own pride 
                Am             Em 
My God I need a hope I can't deny 
               C        G 
In the end I'm realizing  
                      Am             Em C G Am  
I was never meant to fight on my own 
 
Bride
 
Em 
I don't wanna be incomplete  
C 
I remember what you said to me 
G                     Am 
I don't have to fight alone 
 
 
         Em 
Bring me out 
              C                  G 
come and find me in the dark now 
              Am                Em 
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down 
        C           G     Am              
I don't wanna fight alone anymore 
         Em 
Bring me out 
         C                     G 
from the prison of my own pride 
                Am             Em 
My God I need a hope I can't deny 
               C        G 
In the end I'm realizing  
                      Am             Em C G Am (2x) 
I was never meant to fight on my own
