[Verse 1]
AmI woke all in white
AmRight in the middle of the night
AmI hoped, but knew that I had Cleft you with no Greason whAmy
And I Cknow I wasn't Gkind
And you Amprobably lost your mind
But, Coh, I couldn't Gfind
One Greason not to run a mile
[Chorus]
I Fheard it from the aisle of the Gcathedral
AmBaby, I was gonna break your heGart
FHidden in the path of something Gevil
AmKnew we had to stop before we stGarted
And we Ftorture each oGther and Amwonder why
FWe ever pGromised unAmtil we died
And I Fswore that I'd Gnever leave Amyou behind
But I've Fseen the light, Goh, I've Amseen the light
[Verse 2]
AmYou made me feel so safe
I reCcall it like it's GyesterAmday
AmArranged like a thought out maze
I tCried, but couldn't Gfind a way out
CI was screaming Gout and you told Amme that we were bound
Out, CI was screaming ouGt, now all I hear is the sound
[Chorus]
I Fheard it from the aisle of the Gcathedral
AmBaby, I was gonna break your heGart
FHidden in the path of something Gevil
AmKnew we had to stop before we stGarted
And we Ftorture each oGther and Amwonder why
FWe ever pGromised unAmtil we died
And I Fswore that I'd Gnever leave Amyou behind
But I've Fseen the light, Goh, I've Amseen the light
[Bridge]
N.C.
I woke all in white
[Chorus]
I Fheard it from the aisle of the Gcathedral
AmBaby, I was gonna break your heGart
FHidden in the path of something Gevil
AmKnew we had to stop before we stGarted
And we Ftorture each oGther and Amwonder why
FWe ever pGromised unAmtil we died
And I Fswore that I'd Gnever leave Amyou behind
But I've Fseen the light, Goh, I've Amseen the light
Said I've Fseen the lightG, oh, I've Amseen the light

[Verse 1]

I woke all in white

Right in the middle of the night

Am C G Am

I hoped, but knew that I had left you with no reason why

C G

And I know I wasn't kind

And you probably lost your mind

C G

But, oh, I couldn't find

One reason not to run a mile

[Chorus]

F G

I heard it from the aisle of the cathedral

Am G

Baby, I was gonna break your heart

F G

Hidden in the path of something evil

Am G

Knew we had to stop before we started

F G Am

And we torture each other and wonder why

F G Am

We ever promised until we died

F G Am

And I swore that I'd never leave you behind

F G Am

But I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light

[Verse 2]

You made me feel so safe

C G Am

I recall it like it's yesterday

Arranged like a thought out maze

C G

I tried, but couldn't find a way out

C G Am

I was screaming out and you told me that we were bound

C G

Out, I was screaming out, now all I hear is the sound

[Chorus]

F G

I heard it from the aisle of the cathedral

Am G

Baby, I was gonna break your heart

F G

Hidden in the path of something evil

Am G

Knew we had to stop before we started

F G Am

And we torture each other and wonder why

F G Am

We ever promised until we died

F G Am

And I swore that I'd never leave you behind

F G Am

But I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light

[Bridge]

N.C.

I woke all in white

[Chorus]

And we torture each other and wonder why

F G Am

We ever promised until we died

F G Am

And I swore that I'd never leave you behind
