Tom: A
A
[Verse]
A
The lightning flashed and the thunder roared
D A
and woke me from a dream.
I opened my eyes afraid of the dark
D A
and all that I could not see.
E A
Into the night I cried out in fright
D A
Oh mama I'm so scared
E A
come and hold me in your arms
D E
Protect me from whats out there.
[Chorus]
A
She said I'm right here beside you,
D
you've nothin to fear.
A E
It's only a storm and soon the skies will be clear
A D
So close your eyes and drift off to sleep
A E
right by your side is where I'll be
D E A
as long as you need me I'm here.
[Verse]
A
In a hospital bed she lays in the dark
D A
thirty years come and gone.
Slippin away with every breath
D A
desperately holding on.
E A
Into the night she cries out in fright
D A
Oh son I'm so scared
E A
come and hold me cause I don't know
D E
What's waiting for me out there
[Chorus/Outro]
A
I said I'm right her beside you,
D
you've nothin to fear
A E
It's only the dark and soon the way will be clear
A D
so close your eyes and drift off to sleep
A E
right by your side is where I'll be.
D E A
As long as you need me I'm here.
D E A
As long as you need me I'm here.
