If you need someEmone to fight your bCattles

Dear diary, today

Am G C

It feels like the stars are so far away

When the world around is crashing down

Like waves against the tide

And your heart can't take another hit

Fighting wars inside your mind (woah)

Just know that the war's worth fighting

And it's still worth trying

Wipe the tears you’re crying

Hold your head to the sky

And you'll make it to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]

Em C

If you need someone to fight your battles

Am G C

I’ll be standing right here beneath the shadows
