Scared At Night

	  		 


Intro: C ~ ~ G F    C ~ ~ G F   

C                  ~       Am 
As a child I would wake at night 
C     ~             ~         Am 
I was scared, but I kept real quiet 
F                           ~     Am 
Shadows on the walls moving in on me 
    C             ~              Am     F 
And underneath my sheets I could barely breathe 


    C                        ~       Am 
And your room was only just across a hall 
C                 ~           ~      Am 
All it would have taken was a single call 
    F                            ~        Am 
And maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves 
       C      ~   Am       F 
Not to scream out loud and run like hell 


 
  Dm        Am                    G 
Believe me, all the days you're unsure 
  Dm                   Am          G 
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 
    Dm           Am                 G 
And in the dark, picture me in your mind 
         Dm        
And I'll lay with you 
C         ~       G          
You don't ever be scared at night

C                       ~        Am 
As a young man you were shooting rats 
C      ~                 ~        Am 
By accident, you hit the farmyard cat 
   F                           ~             Am 
He ran for the fields and came back the next day 
        C             ~                 Am      F 
You had blown out his eye and you could see his brain 


     C                              ~         Am 
Your dad said, "Boy, there are some things in life 
    C             ~           ~       Am 
You don't want to do, but you know is right 
   F                     ~          Am 
So take him out back and finish him off" 
             C       ~     Am           F 
You got your gun off the shelf, it only took one shot 


 
  Dm        Am                    G 
Believe me, all the days you're unsure 
  Dm                   Am         G 
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 
    Dm           Am                 G 
And in the dark, picture me in your mind 
         Dm        
And I'll lay with you 
   C         ~       G          
So you don't ever be scared at night

      C                        ~     Am 
And I flew to Winnipeg on your final day 
     C             ~       ~     Am 
They said that you waited 'til I came 
   F                                ~         Am 
We sang your favourite hymns and we held your hand 
    C                          ~        F 
You took your final breath and that was that 


    C                       ~     Am 
But I'd never seen a person die before 
  C        ~           ~        Am 
I tried so hard not to cry, you know 
       F                            ~        Am 
'Cause maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves 
     C    ~   Am         F 
That when you die you go someplace else 


 
  Dm        Am                    G 
Believe me, all the days you're unsure 
  Dm                   Am         G 
Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 
    Dm           Am                 G 
And in the dark, picture me in your mind 
         Dm        
And I'll lay with you 
Am                G         Dm 
You don't ever be scared at night 
Am                G         Dm 
You don't ever be scared at night 
C                 G           C ~ ~ G F    C ~ ~ G F ~ C 
You don't ever be scared at night
