Introduction:  C   Em   Am7   G  

           C                       Em          Am7        G 
When you try your best but you don' t succeed,
           C                       Em          Am7        G 
When you get what you want, but not what you need,
           C                   Em              Am7        G 
When you feel so tired, but you can' t sleep,
            C    Em    Am7    G 
Stuck in reverse.

           C                   Em            Am7         G 
And the tears come streaming down your face,

Could it be worse?

 F        C     G            F 
Lights will guide you home,

And ignite your bones,
 F       C    G 
And I will try to fix you,

   C                 Em        Am7         G 
High up above or down below,
              C               Em        Am7        G 
When you' re too in love to let it go,
              C               Em         Am7       G 
But if you never try you' ll never know,
                   C     Em    Am7    G        F 
Just what you' re worth.

 F        C     G            F 
Lights will guide you home,
 F    C   G             F 
And ignite your bones,
 F       C    G 
And I will try to fix you.

 C             F 
Tears stream, down your face,
 C                        G 
When you lose something you cannot replace.
 Am7           F                   C    G 
Tears stream, down your face and I (hold).
 C             F 
Tears stream, down your face,
 C                     Em 
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes.

Tears stream, down your face and I (hold).

 F    C   G             F 
And ignite your bones,
 F       C    G                C 
And I will try to fix you.
