COut in the open,
CI hear you call my name,
FWhispering sweetly,
CBringing me down again,
CWon't you save me now,
CWon't you save my soul,
FAching these bones they say,
CYou won’t be the same,
FYou won't be
CI've changed Ffrom the Cold days,
FLooking for Cnew ways,
To make it Gright,
And if I Cfind,

FSettle my Cscores,
And come back Ghome,
But it Amwill not Gbe Cas it Fwas,
AmTake off your Gcrown you Ccame from Fdust

Out in the open,

I hear you call my name,

Whispering sweetly,

Bringing me down again,

Won't you save me now,

Won't you save my soul,

Aching these bones they say,

You won’t be the same,

You won't be

C F C

I've changed from the old days,

F C

Looking for new ways,

To make it right,

And if I find,

F C

What I'm looking for,

F C

Settle my scores,

And come back home,

Am G C F

But it will not be as it was,

Am G C F

Take off your crown you came from dust
