[Cm] I may [F] know the word, but [Bb]
not say [Eb]
it [Cm]
I may [F] know the truth, but [Bb]
not [Eb] face it
I may [F] hear a sound, [Bb]
a whisper, sacred [Eb] and profound

But fold [F]
my hands [Gm] in different
[Bb] If I'm on my knees, I'm begging now If I'm on my knees, groping in the [Eb] dark
[Gm]
I'd be praying for [F]
[Bb] deliverance From the night [Eb] and [Bb] into the day
[F]
But it's [Bb]
all great [Eb]
here It's [Bb]

From the night and into the day [F]
[Bb] But it's all great [Eb]
here
It's [Bb]
all great [Eb]
here But it's [Bb] all great [Gm] to me
I [Db] recognize the [G] walls inside I recognize them all
I face between them, chasing the ones down Until they fall
In fear, I sleep enough To keep [Gm] their strength enough to crawl
[G] Into my [Gm] head, tangled there's a hidden key to solve
