    But if I gotta be there, don\’t let me hit the ground
    F
    Can I hit the ground?

    [Chorus]
    Am             C             Dm             F
    I\’ve been running for so long
    Dm                                     F
    All that\’s left is skin and bones
    Dm                                                 F
    Close my eyes, fight to carry on
    Am             C             Dm             F
    Sometimes it makes no sense at all
    Dm                         F
    If I stumble, will I fall?
    Dm                                     F
    If I fall, I\’ll tuck and roll
    Dm
    Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
    Dm
    Let the love-light guide me home
