Intro G, D, Em, C
GD
When the weight of the world bears down so strong, you leave footprints on the
street.
EmC
And there's too many miles to face, without a few more hours sleep.
GDEm
The storm clouds overhead won't shed any rain to quench your thirst
C D (ring) G
I wanna be the one you reach for first
D
When your faith is stretched so thin that you can see straight through your soul.
EmC
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile, 'cause your pockets all got holes.
GDEm
You wanna shut the door and hide before the day can get much worse
C D (ring) G
I wanna be the one you reach for first
Chorus:
D
Fall into me
C
My arms are open wide
GD
And you don't have to say a word
GD
'Cause I already see
BmC
That it's hard and you're scared
GD
And you're tired and it hurts
C D (ring) G
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
D
I wanna be the bottle you've been drinking with your eyes
EmC
Or the road you run away on, you've been runnin' all your life
GDEm
The third row pew that you last knew as a child in church
CDG
I wanna be the one you reach for first
Chorus:
D
Fall into me
C
My arms are open wide
GD
And you don't have to say a word
GD
'Cause I already see
BmC
That it's hard and you're scared
GD
And you're tired and it hurts
CDG
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
DEm
Before you turn the key, before you fall asleep, before you drift away to fight those demons
CGD
waiting for you in your dreams. Before your arms are stretched wide open,
EmC
'fore you reach into the sky, before you're searchin' for direction and all the answers to
G
your whys.
D
Fall into me
CGDG
oh, my arms are stretched wide open, you don't have to say a word, because I already
DBmCGDBm
see that it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and I know it hurts. Yes it's hard
CGDCDG
and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts and I wanna be the one you reach for
DCm
first.
Repeat G D Em C through end
