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


CHORUS:
  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


INTERLUDE: C ~ ~ G F    C ~ ~ G F


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


CHORUS:
  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


INTERLUDE: C ~ ~ G F    C ~ ~ G F


      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


CHORUS:
  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
