Capo 1st fret Play the "G" chord as a "rock G" or: 320033 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
