Were you left behind to find your way home?

To cries and lie

Six feet deep in lies

Can you hold your "now"?

Where were you when the lights went down?

C D

And I--I will be right beside you

[CHORUS:]

Em C

You're not alone

G D

There is more to this I know

Em C

You will live to tell

G D

You will live to tell

[x2]

Look inside

See the misery deep in your eyes

Have you lost yourself?

G D

Are you out of tears for the times you cried?

A heart of stone

Cold and left alone

Can you hold me now?

G D

Will you still be here when the lights go down?

C D

And I--I will be right beside you

[CHORUS]

I'll do anything you want me to (Tell)
