Gm F
Oooooh oooooh
Gm F
Oooooh oooooh
[Verse 1]
Cm Gm
What have I told you?
F
You wanted someone quiet
F
I just kept runnin' fast
Cm
Away from my comin' past
Gm
What did you say to me?
F
You got a lot of night in you
F
You're just a lion with things to prove
[Verse 2]
Cm
So just keep lyin' to me
Gm
Just keep tucking in my sheets
F
Telling me darling you're a feral one
F
And that you best be scared of me
Cm
What have I said to you
Gm
Thought in your arms I'd find my strength
F
But you just took it away
F
I guess you said ...
[Chorus]
Cm
Oh, you know 'cause what's the use?
Gm
What's the use of tryin'?
F
She's in a room with her eyes closed
F
She's in a room with no windows
Cm
So tired
Gm
I was frightened of the night
F
Until I took it in my hands, oh
F
To shut out all the light
[Instrumental]
F Gm
[Verse 3]
Gm F
What do I look like
Cm
A little girl lost
Cm
A little lost cause
Gm F
Is that pity in your eyes
F
At least you warned me first
F
That it's supposed to hurt
[Verse 4]
Gm
So just keep pushin' me
F
Just keep tryin' harder
Cm
I'm not a hero or a martyr
Cm
Think I'm the villain of this story
Gm
Oh, please
F
If you know what's good for me
Cm
You'll just keep me feeling lonely
Cm
Until it puts me on my knees
[Chorus 2]
Gm
Oh, you know 'cause what's the use?
F
What's the use of tryin'?
Cm
She's in a room with her eyes closed
Cm
She's in a room with no windows
Gm
So tired
F
I was frightened of the night
Cm
Until I took it in my hands, oh
Cm
To shut out all the light, oh
[Chorus 3]
Gm
As I grow older I become
F
Less afraid of the dark
Cm
And more afraid of growing older
Cm
Mmmmmm
Gm
So won't you kiss me up to God
F
Cause he knows what I want
Cm
Just for something to believe in
Cm
Cause I'm not
[Interlude]
Gm F Cm
Oooooh ooooooh
Gm F Cm
Oooooh ooooooh

You got that lion in you

Let me lay you down

You'll feel alright when it's through.'

Just for something to believe in
