  EmEchoes in the dark, you called out my name
I chain myCself in a cellar built out of failure and shame
D*  Em  
You try and give me shelter, I kept choosing the rain
I'm Cstanding on a ledge above a fall I can't face
But Dyou pushed me anyway
[Chorus]
You Ggot me in a free faBmll, you're my sweet surEmrenderC  
You Gwrapped me in a white fBmlag in my darkest hEmours
So Ctell me will you  Gstay nBmow?
'Cause I feel like I'm  Emsafe nCow
You Ggot me in a free faBmll, you're my sweet surEmrenderC  
[Verse 2]
  EmDidn't even try to cry out for help
The only Cthing he ever did was help me destroy myself
D*  Em  
I'm better now with you, even when I'm in hell
You pick me Cup, pull me out like nobody else
Yeah, Dyou pushed the ground away
[Chorus]
You Ggot me in a free faBmll, you're my sweet surEmrenderC
