         G                                                    D
When the weight of the world bears down so strong, you leave footprints on the 


street.
  
            Em                                 C
And there's too many miles to face, without a few more hours sleep.


    G             D                       Em
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.


        Em                                              C
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile, 'cause your pockets all got holes.


           G                 D              Em
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

               G            D
And you don't have to say a word

       G          D
'Cause I already see

          Bm              C
That it's hard and you're scared

           G            D 
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

       Em                                C
Or the road you run away on, you've been runnin' all your life

    G                  D                  Em
The third row pew that you last knew as a child in church

        C      D                 G    
I wanna be the one you reach for first


Chorus:

          D
Fall into me

   C
My arms are open wide

              G             D
And you don't have to say a word

       G         D
'Cause I already see

          Bm              C
That it's hard and you're scared

           G            D 
And you're tired and it hurts

            C      D                 G     
And I wanna be the one you reach for first


                       D                           Em                                             
Before you turn the key, before you fall asleep, before you drift away to fight those demons


C                              G                                      D          
waiting for you in your dreams.  Before your arms are stretched wide open,

                         Em                                    C
'fore you reach into the sky, before you're searchin' for direction and all the answers to 

     G
your whys.


       D
Fall into me


       C                                       G             D             G
oh, my arms are stretched wide open, you don't have to say a word, because I already 


D             Bm              C                 G                   D                Bm
see that it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and I know it hurts.  Yes it's hard 


           C                 G            D                 C      D               G          
and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts and I wanna be the one you reach for 


     D      Em     C
first.    


Repeat    G    D    Em     C   through end
