G C Em C
[Verse 1]
G
I'm not afraid of the dark anymore
C
I'm just afraid that I won't find the light
G
I'd kill myself if you promised me heaven
C
Cause I'm just too tired to put up a fight
G
I heard your words when I was just a boy
C
So there's no excuse for the path that I chose
G
When I'm on my knees out in front of your gates
C
Then I won't make excuses when that gate is closed
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
C D
I'm so sick of laying here on my own
[Chorus]
G
I wish you'd carry me home
C
Take me away from this house
Em
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
C
Don't look a damn thing like you now
G
I used to smile so much
C
But then I blocked out your son
Em
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
C
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
D (hold)
I'm always quick to run
G (2 bars)
[Verse 2]
G
I'm gonna die in this ocean alone
C
I lay on my back and I pray that I float
G
I thought that I had the world on a string
C
But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
C D
I'm so sick of laying here on my own
[Chorus]
G
I wish you'd carry me home
C
Take me away from this house
Em
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
C
Don't look a damn thing like you now
G
I used to smile so much
C
But then I blocked out your son
Em
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
C
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
D (hold)
I'm always quick to run
G (2 bars)
[Bridge]
Em
You pumped the blood into my heart
C
I poured out poison from my lips
G
I'm broken down in front of you
D
I've come to break like porcelain
Em
I hate the bastard I became
C
Far from the man that I've become
G
You should have left me long ago
D
I wish that I had never run
[Final Chorus]
G
I wish you'd carry me home
C
Take me away from this house
Em
I hope and pray that every day
This wretched man that you have saved
C
Could start to look like you somehow
D (hold)
