[Verse 1]
If I won't [G]live a lie it's [C]in my self [D]defence
That I re[G]member [C]hiding [D]then
If I'm [G]eroding [C]all the innocen[D]ce

And he won't [Am]hear me now

Who will remem[Eb]ber all that stuff,
[Gm]Didn't [Eb]I say it then enough?
[C]If I [Am]could [Eb]let it be, I [Em]would
Start it [A]again, when does it end?

[Verse 9]
Now the [B]dead winds have [Abm]blown
With the [G]cold [A]rains[B]
If I should fall from your [Abm]side
Keep it [G]in [A]your [B]mind
How [C#m]I tried to keep him [B]here
How [E]I promised he'd be [B]safe
And he [C#m]never said a [B]word
And [E]he never [B]cried

[Verse 10]
Another [B]day leads me [G#m]on
And I will [G]fol[A]low[B]
Whatever it takes now, I'll [Abm]do
If it's [G]over[A][B]
And he [C#m]won't hurt me now, I [B]know
When I'm [E]losing all the [B]power
And he won't [C#m]hurt me now
In [B]this darkest hour
