Was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
C           Am7                F               | C |
  Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

[Pre-chorus]
               D                            Dsus4
But you've got demons in your closet
                                (you've got demons in your closet)
 
           D                                Dsus4
And you're screaming out to stop it
                                (and you're screaming out to stop it)
       D                          Dsus4
Saying life's begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you
C/D                     D
Grab on to what you can scramble for
 
[Chorus]
              Bm7               Em
Don’t let the tears linger on inside now
           Bm7                     Em
Cause it's sure time you gained control
         Am                 C/G

Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
            Bm7                   Em
To get your heart back and on the road
         Am                 C/G
If I can help you, if I can help you
         F                    |  D  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
If I can help you, just let me kno-o-o-o-ow    (break)

[Verse 3]
G/D          Em6
All through the night
       G/F#          Em6             [ C ]
As you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
C             Am7                 F            | C     C6 C7 |
  What do you need, a second-hand movie star to tend you?
 
[Verse 4]
G/D    Em6
I as a boy
     G/F#                 Em6              [ C ]
I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
C              Am7             F                    | C |
  How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
