F    G    Am

F     G        Am
Rain down mercy for the lost and lonely child
F        G                   Am
For the liars and the losers, the reckless and the wild
F                G                Am
There's no more use in pretending, I know I never fooled you
F                                     G
The deepest darkness I've ever known comes
                 Am
From living like I do

But I swear I'm gonna knock on that gate,
Even if it's all in vain
I'll stand outside with my mouth wide open
And drink the pourin' rain
I know there's some good left in this world
I've seen it shine in your eyes
Rain down salvation, keep my faith alive

Dm7    C         F         Dm7       C
  The harder we fall, the closer we come
                F    Dm7                 C
To finding our hearts and the damage we've done
              F  Dm7                 C
Darlin' I've held the devil's dirty hand
                F        Dm7 Fmaj7
But holding you now I know
           G  Am
Is Heaven's last attempt

             Bb      F                         Bb       F
So won't you walk beside me, you know I can't make it alone
          Bb         F              C     Dm             G
Here the fields are dark and the wind is hard, hard as stone
Bb            G                       F  Dm7       C
Roll out the sky and let me come home,       come home

C F Dm7 C

The harder we fall, the closer we come
To finding the light and the warmth of the sun
All that I've ever had, I let slip through my hands
                 F      Dm7    Fmaj7       F        Fmaj7
But holding you now I know            is heaven

F Fmaj7 (repeat to end, end on F)
