Dressed In Black

Am          F
I had given up
C                G
I didn?t know who to trust
Am          F
So I designed a shell
C                G
Kept me from heaven and hell
Am          F
And I had hit a low
C                G
Was all I let myself know
Am          F
Yeah I had locked my heart
C                E
I was imprisoned by dark


[Chorus]

Am
You found me dressed in black
F                      C
Hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am
You took my hand in yours
F                      C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am
I thought life passed me by
F                      C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
G
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
Am
And then you crossed my path

F                      C
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G                             Am
Then you covered my heart in kisses


[Verse 2]

Am          F
I was down for the count
C                G
i was down i was out
Am          F
And I had lost it all
C                G
yes I was scared I was torn
Am          F
I took to the night
        C                G
I?d given in to the fight
Am          F
And I slipped further down
C                E
I felt like I had drowned


[Chorus]

Am
You found me dressed in black
F                      C
Hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am
You took my hand in yours
F                      C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am
I thought life passed me by
F                      C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
G
Life had broken my heart, my spirit

Am
And then you crossed my path
F                      C
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G                            Am
Then you covered my heart in kisses


[Bridge]

Dm                   Am
I was hopeless and broken
   C                     G
You opened the door for me
Dm                   Am                  C
Yeah i was hiding and you let the light in
       G
And now i see
Dm                   Am
That you do for the wounded
            C
What they couldn?t seem to
G
You set them free
Dm               Am                 C                       G     
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key
                E



[Chorus]

Am
You found me dressed in black
F                      C
Hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am
You took my hand in yours
F                      C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am
I thought life passed me by

F                      C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
G
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
Am
And then you crossed my path
F                      C
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G
Then you covered my heart in kisses
