Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
NONE
 
 
[Verse]
G
  I'm not the savior you asked for
Em            Cadd9                    G
  I'm not the person I thought I would be
                               Em
I left a note on the back porch
           Cadd9
Said I was sorry for all of the
 
 G
Things I said
      Cadd9
I was over my head
        Em                Cadd9
So when I leave home and I end up dead
 
G                     D           Em
  I'm not the savior you asked for
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Cadd9
So when it's time
   D  G
To go to sleep
        Cadd9
Will You say to me
 
            G
"You don't have to leave,
         Cadd9
Darling, stay with Me
 
 
[Chorus]
G                         D
I am the light upon your feet
                           Em7
I am your bed when you get weak
 
 
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
      Cadd9
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
 
    G                 D
And I will calm your seas
             Em7
And set you free
                                Cadd9
And when you don't know where to go
                         G
Darling, I will be your home
 
 
[Verse]
 G
I'm only twenty but I hate the person that I see
 Em
Wish that I could feel alright,
     Cadd9
I'm cursed by this anxiety
 
G
If you found out who I am
                     Em
I don't think you'd like him
                Cadd9
So I just keep hiding
 
       G                          Cadd9                 Em7
And I like it that way because if they never know who I am
                   Cadd9
Then I never gotta feel another stone
 
          G                         Cadd9
Some days I believe in God and then other days I don't
           Em
There's a noose around my faith
      Cadd9
If I tighten up the rope and I
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D      G
Go to sleep
 Em     Cmaj7   C
Will You say to me
           D       G
You don't have to leave
 Em      Cmaj7     C
Darling, stay with Me
 
 
[Chorus]
G                         D
I am the light upon your feet
                           Em7
I am your bed when you get weak
 
 
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
      Cadd9
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
 
    G                 D
And I will calm your seas
             Em7
And set you free
                                Cadd9
And when you don't know where to go
                         G
Darling, I will be your home
 
 
[Chorus]
G                         D
I am the light upon your feet
                           Em7
I am your bed when you get weak
 
 
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
      Cadd9
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
 
    G                 D
And I will calm your seas
             Em
And set you free
                                Cadd9
And when you don't know where to go
 
                         Am   G  Cadd9  D
Darling, I will be your hooo-oooo-oooo-ome
