barG
when the weight of the world
bares down so strong it
leaves footprints on the street
and there's too many miles to face
without a few more hours sleep
barG D/F#
the storm clouds overhead won't shed
any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first
barG
when your faith is stretched so thin that
you can see straight through your soul
and you cant find a nickel to buy a smile cuz ur pockets all got holes
barG
you wanna shut the door and
hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first
barG D/F#
fall into me
my arms are opened wide
and you don't have to say a word
barG D/F#
cuz I already see
that its hard
and you're scared
and you're tired
and it hurts
and I wanna be the one you reach for first
barG D/F#
I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin' with your eyes
or the road you run away on
you've been runnin all your life
barG D/F#
the third row pew that you last knew
as a child in church
I wanna be the one your reach for first
barG D/F#
fall into me
my arms are opened wide
and you don't have to say a word
barG D/F#
cuz I already see
that its hard
and you're scared
and you're tired
and it hurts
and I wanna be the one you reach for first
barG
before your turn the key
before you fall asleep
before your drift away
to fight those demons waiting for you
in your dreams
barG D/F#
before your arms are stretched wide open
before you reach into the sky
before your searching for direction
C barG
and all the answers to your life
barG D/F#
fall into me
my arms are opened wide
and you don't have to say a word
barG D/F#
because I already see
that its hard
and you're scared
and you're tired
and I know it hurts
Yes it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
and I wanna be the one you reach for first
