C Am
You say you see the darkness in daylight
So you forget and pause a while

Lots of friends and acquaintances

And you wanna be the one who's glad
In everyone's company

You say you were once as young as me

If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark night

If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark night

And I'm a bit like Terrence Hill
I might seem cool but underneath

I am just as scared and sad as you
And if you stay a while and pause you see

I will make you smile and I won't talk
C Am F
About depressing stuff like me, just you
C F Am F
If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark night

If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark night

And if you find what you think that you need
Dm Am
I won't say I know better than you

Cause if you're really, truly glad

I won't tell you that it might pass too
