CAPO ON 1
I get Dlost sometimes, like everybody else
Lose Bmtrack of my lifelines, lose track of myself
And there's Gall kinds of reasons to be scared and run awayD  A  
It's a Dgood time for sad times, like heaven couldn't be 
BmFarther from the places that heaven always finds me
But if Gnobody cares tell me how is it I keep getting saved Dthis wayA  
It's a Gsunrise from a lonely night
Like a Bmsmile in a stranger's Aeyes
It's the Gmoments that save my life 
Nobody knows aBmbout, like flashAlights
There's Gjust enough hope when it shines
