[Intro] C#m  A  C#m  A

            C#m
Could it be I was the one
                             A
That you held so deep in the night?
            C#m
On the back staircase
                                            A
You fell to your knees with tears in your eyes
             F#
All that you suffered, all the disease
             A
You couldn't hide it, hide it from me

            C#m
All alone, scared in your room
                                  A
Would you swear there's nobody home?
              C#m
On the bed, laying awake
                                 A
As you prayed he'd leave you alone

              F#                  A
I'll let the darkness swallow me whole
           F#                    A
I need to find you, need you to know

C#m           A             F#
I'll be your friend in the daylight again
C#m           A            F#
There we will be, like an old enemy
         A
Like the salt and the sea

( C#m  A )

               C#m
And they wrote all these prescriptions
                          A
They wrote me off like a heel
          C#m
Yeah, the doctors with their medicine
                       A
Left me to rock in my filth

            F#                   A
From the destruction, out of the flame
            F#                A
You need a villain, give me a name

C#m           A             F#
I'll be your friend in the daylight again
C#m           A           F#
There we will be, like an old enemy
C#m           A             F#
I'll be your friend in the daylight again
C#m           A           F#
There we will be, like an old enemy
         A
Like the salt and the sea
         A
Like the salt and the sea
