[Intro]

oooooooh
C G D
oooooooh
[Verse 1]
C G
The night sky had broken, the new year had spoken
D Em
I was beside myself, I stood out in the cold
C G
In an empty parking lot, my breath was streaming hot
Em D C G D G D
I willed the car to start to bring me home to you
Em D C
Lead me back from the darkness like you do
[Chorus]
C G
Before I knew you, I lived in the rearview
Em D
To wish back an image of myself I thought was true
C G
So now when colors fade and on that day of days
Em D C G D G D
I needed you to say it wasn't one to ruin
Em D C
Oh and lead me back from the darkness like you do
[Bridge]
C G D Em
oooooooh
C G D
oooooooh
[Verse 2]
C G
Headlights and cold rain distorting the dark panes
Em D
Wipers clicking and my thoughts they followed suit
C G
I felt like Willy Loman, the mighty plans I'd spoken
Em D
Guess they were illusions of a man who dreamed too big
C G
But I remember you dancing in autumn when we met
Em D
You won't believe I saw it then so many years ago
C G
There was something about you I struggled to forget
Em D
My blood was rushing down to you
Em D C
You were leadin' me back from the darkness like you do
Em D C
Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do
Em D C
Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do
Em D
Leadin' me back from the darkness like you do
Am G D Em
Leading me back like a horse to water knowing I'd refuse
Am G D
oooohhh
C G
'Cause you're a wanderer too
C G D Em
oooooooh
C G D
oooooooh
