Tom: D

[Intro]  G  Bm  A

           G                    D
And if the terrors of the night
      G                      D/F#
Come creeping into your days
        G           D                                A
And the world comes stealing children from your room

               G     Bm  A
Guard your innocence
             G     Bm  A
From hallucination
                      G Bm   A                    E
And know the darkness always gathers around the light

            G                       D
There is a light, you can't always see
               A                     Bm
If there is a world, we can't always be
               G                       D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt
                A                      Bm  E
And there is a light, don't let it go out

         G                  D
When the wind screams and shouts
        G                  D/F#
And the sea is a dragon's tale
        G          D                       A
And the ship that stole your heart away set sail

                 G     Bm  A
When all you've learned is leaving
             G Bm   A
And all you got is grieving
             G  Bm   A
And all you know is leading
    G      D              E
Ah da-da, ah da-da-da, ah-da

               G                       D
If there is a light, you can't always see
               A                     Bm
If there is a world, we can't always be
               G                       D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt
                A                      Bm
And there is a light, don't let it go out

                  G   D   A           Bm
'Cause this is a song, a song for someone
             E
Someone like me

           G             D
I know the world is done
    G                    D/F#
But you don't have to be
           G                 D                      D/F#
I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves

         G          Bm      A
Are you tough enough to be kind?
        G              Bm            A
Do you know your heart has it's own mind?
          G       Bm          A
Darkness gathers around the lights
      G          E
Hold on, hold on

            G                       D
There is a light, you can't always see
               A                     Bm
If there is a world, we can't always be
               G                       D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn't doubt
                A                      Bm
And there is a light, don't let it go out

               G      D      A           Bm
And this is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone
           G      D      A           Bm
This is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone
             E
Someone like me
             E
Someone like me
             E
Someone like me
