C                               C
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
        Fsus2(maj7)                        Fsus2(maj7)
And I'm down and my knees, and I know that something is missing
            C                          C
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
      Cadd9                            G6
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them

      C                        C
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan
              Fsus2(maj7)                   Fsus2(maj7)
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
         C                            C
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
          Cadd9                   G6
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it

        Dm         Dm
I don't want to know

               F         G
I just want to run to you
                  C                       Am Am7
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               F         G
I just want to be so much
                  C                      Am  Am7
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
            F    F             G      G
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
            F      Cmaj11
I'll need a saviour


C                                C
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
         Fsus2(maj7)                     Fsus2(maj7)
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
              C                                C
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
               Cadd9                             G6
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go

        Dm         Dm
I don't want to know

               F         G
I just want to run to you
                  C                       Am Am7
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               F         G
I just want to be so much
                  C                      Am  Am7
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
            F    F             G      G
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
            Am
I'll need a saviour

G           F                         F        Am
  Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
G                   F                             F
  Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Fm     Fm
save me
