[G#m]A loss that [D#m]would have thrown
[Esus2]A hole [C#m]through anybody's soul
[G#m]And you were [D#m]only human after all
[Esus2]So don't hold back [G#m]the tears my dear
[D#m]Release them so [Esus2]your eyes can clear
[D#m]I know that [C#m]you will rise again
[B]But you gotta [D#sus4]let them fall
[D#]I wish that I [Esus2]could snap my fingers
[C#m]Erase the [G#m]past but no
[C#m]You cannot [Bb/D]rewind reality
[D#sus4]Once the [D#]tape's unrolled
[D#m]If your spirit's broken and [C#m]you can't bear the pain
[Bb/D]I will help you put the [E]pieces back a little more each day
[D#7]And if your heart is locked [G#m]and you can't find the key
[C#m]Lay your head upon my [B]shoulder I'll set you free
[Esus2]I'll be [C#m]your security
[Esus2]Oh, a [D#m]moment of despair
[C#m]That forces you to [B]say that life's unfair
[D#sus4]It makes you scared [D#]of what tomorrow may bring
[G#m]But don't go givin' into fear [D#m]stop hiding all alone in there
[Esus2]The show keeps goin' on and on [C#m]but you'll miss the whole damn thing
[B]I wish I had a crystal [D#7]ball to see what the future holds
[G#m]But we don't know how the [E]story ends till it's all been told
[D#m]If your spirit's broken and [C#m]you can't bear the pain
[Bb/D]I will help you put the [E]pieces back a little more each day
[D#7]And if your heart is locked [G#m]and you can't find the key
[C#m]Lay your head upon my [B]shoulder I'll set you free
[Esus2]I'll be [C#m]your security
[D#m]On any clock [Esus2]upon the wall
[G#m]The time [D#m]is always now
[Esus2]So baby kiss [D#m]the past goodbye
[C#m]Don't let the [B]future blow your mind
[D#sus4]Just sit [D#]back and chill
[Esus2]Take things [C#m]as they come
[G#m]You can't be afraid [C#m]so live for today
[Bb/D]I will be with you [D#sus4]each step of the way
[D#m]If your spirit's broken [Esus2]you can't bear the pain
[D#m]I will help you put the pieces [Esus2]back bit by bit each and everyday
[D#m]If your heart is locked [Esus2]and you can't find the key
[C#m]Lay your head upon my [B]shoulder I'll set you free
[Esus2]I'll be [C#m]your security
[D#m]If your spirit's broken [Esus2]you can't bear the pain
[D#m]If you're [C#m]hurtin' me inside
[B]I will help you [D#sus4]put the pieces back
[D#]Oh, yo the [G#m]tears you cry
[D#m]If your heart is locked [Esus2]and you can't find the key
[C#m]Lay your head upon my [B]shoulder I'll set you free
[Esus2]I'll be [C#m]your security
[E]I'll be there for [D#m]you to lead, oh
[C#m]When you [Bb/D]need a friend
[E]When you need [D#7]a friend, oh
[G#m]Lay your head upon [D#m]my shoulder, lean on me
