Since day one, I've been on the run

Oh, the sun ain't shining
C G
I keep finding darker corners wrapped around my mind

You might save my life

You might be my light

You might save my life
C G
(You might be...)
[Verso 2]

Nothing helped, I walked alone through hell

Around in circles, thought I'd find myself

But I found you

Through fire and smoke, I knew there was something different in the way you move

Oh, the sun ain't shining
C G
I keep finding dark corners right around my mind

You will be my light (or "You must save my life")

You must be my life

You might be my soul
C G
You must save my life

Oh, the night keeps falling

You might save my life... (repeat as needed)
