Yeah I had locked my heart

I was imprisoned by dark

You found me dressed in black
F C
Hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am
You took my hand in yours
F C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am
I thought life passed me by
F C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit
Am
And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G Am
Then you covered my heart in kisses

Am F
And I had lost it all

And I slipped further down

I felt like I had drowned
