Intro G, D, Em, C
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
