[Verse 1]
F Gm
There was a darkness that soothed me
Bb F
and raised me up to dream
F Gm
In an abyss those nightmares
Bb F
are not what they seem
Gm Bb F
They whispered of a world they'd known
Gm Bb F
where every child was their own
Gm
all the colours of an oil spill
Bb F
when moonlight hits the wave I’ll save you
F
all
Bb
You’ve seen all the things that I’ve seen
F
you’ve been all the places I’ve been my friend
Bb
You know all the things that I know
F
well maybe not all but most so but who cares
F
who’s better or worse than anyone
Bb
I've made mistakes along the way but
F
who said things should stay the same I don’t agree
Bb F
the universe is filled with so moray new exciting things to sea
F
for you and me
[Chorus 1]
Gm Bb F
You don’t need saving you can save yourself
Gm Bb F
You’re all so special from the inside out
Gm Bb F
Just take a second look how far we've come
Gm Bb F
I bet if the nightmares could see me now they’d say well done
F Gm
well done well done
Bb
well done daughter
F
daughter well done
[Verse 2]
F Gm
There was a darkness that knew me
Bb F
and raised me wild and strong
F Gm
So hated and so feared was she
Bb F
though fearful most of all
Gm Bb F
She whispered of a hunger deep
Gm Bb F
and as old as the bones beneath her meat
Gm
All strange serenades
Bb F
and never sleeps yet never wakes I'll break your
F
fall
Bb
You’ve done everything that you could
F
You feel like there's something else you're supposed to do
Bb
who crossed that road who burned that bridge
F
who fought that current and swam with the fish was it you
Bb F
I've lost a friend I've gained a friend what's a friend mean but a means to an end I tried my best with
Bb F
everyone I've ever loved I'll outlive unless I can find where life inside me rests it is my test
[Chorus 2]
Gm Bb F
You don’t need saving anymore anymore
Gm Bb F
but I'm still waving from the not-so-distant shore
Gm Bb F
Just take a second look at what you'll start
Gm Bb F
I'm sorry that I couldn’t save you from darkness inside your heart
F Bb
your heart your heart
Gm Bb F
your hardened heart friend
