C F
If all the things you said were right
C F
How come you can't go home tonight

You're frightened on your own

Scared to be alone
C
In your head
G
Not at home
Dm G
And all the things you say and do
Dm G
Won't take the fear away from you
C F
And so you're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so
C F Dm G C F Dm G

But the dread, oh God the dread
Dm G
And all the things you say and do
Dm G
Won't take the fear away from you
C F
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so
C F
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so

Will slowly let you go

And once again the dread

You try but can't let go

This pain that kills you so
