[Verso 1]
A Bm7
When I was a kid, I lived in fear
A Gmaj7
Of razor blades in the candy and Bloody Mary in the mirror
A Gmaj7
Now when I taste something sweet
A Gmaj7
The flavor of metal is overwhelming me

Falling inside me again

And all these storms, they never seem to end
[Verso 2]
A Bm7
Our summers spent on trampolines
A
With the lawn darts impaling
Gmaj7
The groomed fields of green
A Bm7
And the only truth I've ever found
A Gmaj7
Is that everything that ascends will soon come crashing down

A
It takes just a little light
Bm
It takes just a little light
A
To find its way through the cracks

On the darkest of nights
A
It takes just a little faith

It takes just a little faith
D/F# G
But nothing happens every time I pray
