Intro:

Night's falling, so take courage

that you're not alone, no you're not alone.

but you're not alone, no you're not alone.

Am F

You follow far from home your secret

It's how you find your own secret

Though my words begin to crumble like the sidewalks

all around this crummy neighborhood.

I'd start over if I could.
