[Verse]
AAs you in this Esearch for something F#mto hate
I can feel you C#mrally around someone
with your Dpeers
but can you Astand alone
DCan you take the long way Ehome
ACause I stood in the Ecircle

and I feel C#msafer in the eye of a Dstorm
You can Athrow your stones
DI'll only bleed for Eyou…   for one day… 
F#m             D
AThey all answer Eto the Esus4/Ehearsay
