Taylor Swift - safe and Sound

Intro: 
Am Em C G x2

Verse:
Am                         Em    
I remember tears streaming down your face
       C                        G  
When I said, I'll never let you go
Am                     Em                 C           G   
When all those shadows almost killed your light
Am         Em              C             G
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
    Am                  Em              C       
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
 
Chorus:
C                 G
  Just close your eyes
    D            C
The sun is going down

            G
You'll be alright
   D                C
No one can hurt you now
             G
Come morning light

Intro: F-C-Dm-Am-B-F-C x2

F            C      Dm                           Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
B                F                        C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

B                        F
to hold her when I'm not around,

We all need that person who can be true to you

And now I wish I'd stayed

Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again
F                        C   Dm                      Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
B                                  F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
C
and all the shops are closed

F                       C      Dm                                Am
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

Dm * B         F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm *   B     F
Before long, they waste away
Dm *   B      F
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm *  B  F
I gave in, to selfish ways

Gm                                 C
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade'

F            C      Dm                           Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
B                F                        C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Reff:
F       C     Dm               C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
B                         F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C
when I'm much too far away

F        C      Dm                      C
We all need that person who can be true to you
B                    F
I left her when I found her
C
And now I wish I'd stayed

Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

I was left to my own de--v-i-c-e-s

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


C              Em             G          D
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
C            Em          G              D
In your pose as the dust settles around us
