    F                                         C               - Dm                          Am

1.    I never dreamed I could cry so hard,         that ain't like a man,

                Bb           C      F        A               Bb                           C

    I could fly like a bird, some days had a place where I could land.

F                                                C               - Dm                              Am

    I could have sworn we were all locked in,      ain't that what you said ?

                   Bb                C    F    A                    Bb                      C

    I never knew it could hurt so bad when the power of love is dead.

           Dm                                         Bb

    But giving into the night time ain't no cure for the pain,

                       G                                             C

    you gotta wade into the water, you gotta learn to live again !

 

          A                         D          A

And reach out for her healing hands,

  D                          E          A

reach out for her healing hands.

There's a light, where the darkness ends,

                   E                      A

touch me now and let me see again !

                 Dm               A        E          A

Rock me now in your gentle healing hands !

 

    F                                        C       - Dm                            Am

2.      I never knew love like poison         that burned like a fire,

Bb                 C                    F   A         Bb                C

    all I ever wanted was a reason to drown in your eyes.

F                                       C          - Dm                          Am

    I never knew sleep so restless,         empty arms so cold,

Bb                         C               F           A

    that's not the way it's supposed to be,

                        Bb                   C

    it ain't the spell that I was sold.

           Dm                                         Bb

    But giving into the night time ain't no cure for the pain,

                       G                                             C

    you gotta wade into the water, you gotta learn to live again !
