G C Em C

[Verse 1]
           G
I'm not afraid of the dark anymore
            C
I'm just afraid that I won't find the light
            G
I'd kill myself if you promised me heaven
                    C
Cause I'm just too tired to put up a fight
              G
I heard your words when I was just a boy
                 C
So there's no excuse for the path that I chose
                 G
When I'm on my knees out in front of your gates
                     C
Then I won't make excuses when that gate is closed

[Pre-Chorus]
    Em                            D
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
        C                                         D
I'm so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]
                          G
I wish you'd carry me home
                         C
Take me away from this house
                             Em
I hate to say this wretched man

That you have made to look like you
                                   C
Don't look a damn thing like you now
                       G
I used to smile so much
                              C
But then I blocked out your son
                              Em
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
                                          C
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
D (hold)
I'm always quick to run 
G (2 bars)

[Verse 2]
           G
I'm gonna die in this ocean alone
             C
I lay on my back and I pray that I float
                  G
I thought that I had the world on a string
                    C
But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope

[Pre-Chorus]
   Em                             D
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
        C                           D
I'm so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]
                          G
I wish you'd carry me home
                         C
Take me away from this house
                             Em
I hate to say this wretched man

That you have made to look like you
                                  C
Don't look a damn thing like you now
                       G
I used to smile so much
                             C
But then I blocked out your son
                              Em
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
                                           C
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
D (hold)
I'm always quick to run

G (2 bars)

[Bridge]
Em
You pumped the blood into my heart
C
I poured out poison from my lips
G
I'm broken down in front of you
D
I've come to break like porcelain
Em
I hate the bastard I became
C
Far from the man that I've become
G
You should have left me long ago
D
I wish that I had never run

[Final Chorus]
                          G
I wish you'd carry me home
                            C
Take me away from this house
                              Em
I hope and pray that every day

This wretched man that you have saved
                                  C
Could start to look like you somehow
D (hold)
