Intro:  Em  G  D  A  
        Em  G  D  A 
        Em  G  D  A 


    G                            D 
The needle on my compass must be busted or bent 
         A              
'Cause I can't walk straight 
        G                             D 
And I'm feelin' kinda beaten like the rusted out 
              A       
Hinges on the backyard gate 


               G              D 
Well everybody lies… too much 
                A              Em 
Hoping they can find true love 
                       G                D 
'Cause hell is what we all… go through 
                   A               A 
To try and find an angel like you… Woah-oh 


Em                G 
   Thank God you found me… FOUND ME 
 D                        A 
   Because I'm broken and handing you my heart 
 Em                      G 
    When the night is surrounding… Need your light 
  D                          A 
 Around me… or else I'm just standing in the dark 
 Em                      G 
    When the night is surrounding… Need your light 
  D                         A 
 Around me… or else I'm just standing in the dark 
 Em  G  D                  A 
          Or ELSЕ I'M JUST STANDING IN THE DARK 


    G                       D 
 My soul's got holes like a shotgun 
              A         
 Pattern on a highway sign 
         G                     D 
 And the lady on the radio can stick this damn rain 
           A        
 Where the sun don't shine 

 
                G               D 
 Well everybody lies… too much 
                 A               Em 
 Hoping they can find true love 
                        G                D 
 'Cause hell is what we all… go through 
                    A               A 
 To try and find an angel like you… Woah-oh

( Em  G  D  A ) 

 Em                 G 
    You turn to me… as if to say 
 D                         A 
   Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away 
 Em                    G 
    You can't explain… You just let go 
 D                      A 
   Of all the pain that the world will never know 

 Em                 G 
    You turn to me… as if to say 
 D                         A 
   Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away 
 Em                    G 
    You can't explain… You just let go 
 D                      A                          ( A ) 
    Of all the pain that the world will never know 


Em               G 
   Thank God you found me… FOUND ME 
 D                        A 
   Because I'm broken and handing you my heart 
 Em                      G 
    When the night is surrounding… Need your light 
  D                          A 
 Around me… or else I'm just standing in the dark 
 Em               G

 Em                      G 
    When the night is surrounding… Need your light 
  D                          A 
 Around me… or else I'm just standing in the dark 

Final: 

Em                 G 
   You turn to me… as if to say 
D                  A 
  Or else I'm just standing in the dark 
Em                    G 
   You can't explain… You just let go 
D                  A 
  Or else I'm just standing in the dark
