Verse 1:
           Dbm
Could it be I was the one 
                             A
That you held so deep in the night?
            Dbm
On the back staircase
                                          A
You fell to your knees with tears in your eyes
 
 
             Gb
All that you suffered, all the disease
             A
You couldn't hide it, hide it from me
 
Verse 2:
           Dbm
All alone, scared in your room
                               A
Would you swear there's nobody home?
            Dbm
On the bed, laying awake
                             A
As you prayed he'd leave you alone
 

             Gb                   A
I'll let the darkness swallow me whole
          Gb                     A
I need to find you, need you to know

I'll be your friend in the daylight again
Dbm            A           Gb
There we will be, like an old enemy
         A
Like the salt and the sea

Verse 3:
               Dbm
And they wrote all these prescriptions
                         A
They wrote me off like a heel
              Dbm
Yeah, the doctors with their medicine
                      A
Left me to rock in my filth
 

         Gb                       A
From the destruction, out of the flame
           Gb                  A
You need a villain, give me a name
 
Chorus 2:
Dbm           A             Gb
I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy
Dbm           A             Gb
I'll be your friend in the daylight again
Dbm            A           Gb
There we will be, like an old enemy
         A
Like the salt and the sea
         A
Like the salt and the sea
