Where The Light Is

A Schmidt


Tom: G

G           Em    D    C
Tell me I’m OK
G               Em       D     C
Tell me there’s more here than what’s inside my head

[Break]
Em              C               Em              Am      C

[Verse]
G            Em      D C
Don’t let me dive down any further
G          Em      D               C
Help me believe in anything that’s bigger than myself

[Chorus]
G             D                    Em     Cadd9
Teach me to breath; stay here and show me where the light is
G               D     Em7      Bm7             G
Teach me to see; look past the smokescreen and find the beauty
C                     D                            Em                          Em7
I can’t do this alone; hold tight and don’t let go; I feel my grip is slipping little by little by little
G             D                    Em     Cadd9
Teach me to breath; stay here and show me where the light is

[Break]
Em              C               Em              Am      C

[Verse]
G           Em        D                  C
Tell me I’m OK (teach me to breath; see through the smokescreen)
G               Em       D                            C
Tell me there’s more here (I feel my grip is slipping little by little by little)
Csus2 C   Am7    Am     Bm7      Dsus2
Will it ever get easier someday? Somehow?
G               Em      D               C
Show me there’s more to life than being stuck in my own head

[Break]
Em              C               Em              Am7      Cadd9
C               D               Em              G

[Chorus]
G             D                    Em     Cadd9
Teach me to breath; stay here and show me where the light is
G               D     Em7      Bm7             G
Teach me to see; look past the smokescreen and find the beauty
C                     D                            Em                          Em7
I can’t do this alone; hold tight and don’t let go; I feel my grip is slipping little by little by little
G             D                    Em     Cadd9
Teach me to breath; stay here and show me where the light is

[Break]
Em              C               Em              Am7      Cadd9
C               D               Em              G

[Outro]
Csus2     C             Bm7
I used to close my eyes, and I could make believe
Am            Am7            Em7
that all this madness in the world would dust right off of me
Csus2      C            Bm7
But now it won’t let go; disfigures all my hope;
Am        Am7             Em7
and every passing day the weight of it gets harder to hold
Csus2 C     Bm7                                 Am   Am7    Em7
Teach me to breath through the cracks and weeds, and bury me, and just leave me be 
Csus2   C       Bm7                Am Am7 Em7
with my memories of who I used to be down where the light is
