Verse 1

          D                  G
When your heart is black and broken

        D              G
And you need a helping hand

            D          Em7
When you're so much in love

You don't know just how much you can stand

          D               G
When your questions go un-answered

        D                  G
And the silence is killing you

            D/F#    Em
Take my hand baby I'm your man

         G                 A
I've got loving enough for two

There's no sure-fire set so-lutions

   D                    G
No shortcut through the trees

   D             Em7     
No breach in the wall

          D/F#         G             A 
That they put there to keep you from me


Verse 4
=======
          D                   G
As you're lying awake in this darkness

     D
This everlasting night

G       D/F#            Em
Someday soon don't know where or when

You're gonna wake up and see the light
