[Verse 1]
 D                        Bm
You pick me up when i am down
                                 D
You dye your hair to hide your crown
                             Bm
Your love is everywhere tonight
                                G
You're out of will and out of spite
G
I know you’ll come around
G
Your heart won’t sing aloud
 D                      Bm
This area is where we meet
                                   D
Beyond the lights, beyond the streets
                                 Bm
You shine a light that meets no eyes
                    A         G
You sit alone and touch the skies
G
Your love is here despite
G
Your love is here tonight
 D    Bm  A  D   Em Bm  A  G

[Verse 2]
 D                        Bm
She’ll never walk alone again
 Em       A                D
She has voice in all her friends
                              Bm
The sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
             A                  G
She told me boy we’ll share a dream
G
I hope she live the life
G
Away from other strife
 D                    G      Bm
Her eyes will always see the sun
                    A             D
That place where beautiful comes from
                        Bm
It shivers me when she sings
            A               G
A love and life and other things
G
I’ve left myself to find
G
Oh I’ve left myself behind

 D                    Bm
Don’t hide your versatility
      Em     A                D
Come home remember that your free

It’s time to look after yourself

We're here for everybody else
G
So don’t you hide your smile
G
My God it’s been a while
 D                    G   Bm
Her fight was won so long ago
                       A        D
Now lesser things had hurt her soul
                                   Bm
Her voice has raised the heart to those
            A                G
Who live a life they never chose
G
So sing a lullaby
G
For all the times we’ve tried
