C                      F
you can't be by yourself
C                      F
you can't be by yourself
Am                       
they kept you in the dark 
in a room with nothing sharp 
               G
until you were well
C                           F
you told me that you were so 
C                        F
scared of what they know 
Am
but love isn't afraid 
love is using your first name 
         G
in the poems that I wrote 

C                  F
follow me to a home 
C                    F
abandoned at the shore
Am 
there's a story on the walls 
written in marker across the halls 
    G  
that you'll adore 
(song starts building.. aka, play the chords a little stronger)
C                        F
and no one can see us now 
C                              F
like the sun behind the clouds 
Am
lets grab a drink for lunch 
and wash out the taste of blood 
        G
from our guilty mouths
C                              F 
when you stepped into the light 
C                                F
I saw it running down your thighs 
Am                                 Am
and thought what a beautiful sight 
             C
to see you alive
