Refrain: A E F#m D
Pre-chorus: F#m E D E
Chorus: A E F#m D (same as refrain)
A E
When I was a child:
F#m
Running in the night,
D A
Afraid of what might be
E
Hiding in the dark,
F#m
Hiding in the street,
D F#m E D
And of what was following me...
E F#m E D
Now hounds of love are hunting.
E F#m E D
I've always been a coward,
E F#m
And I don't know what's good for me.
A
Here I go!
E F#m D
It's coming for me through the trees.
A E
Help me, someone!
F#m D
Help me, please!
A E
Take my shoes off,
F#m D A
And throw them in the lake, and I'll be
E F#m D
Two steps on the water.
A E
I found a fox
F#m
Caught by dogs.
D A
He let me take him in my hands.
E
His little heart,
F#m
It beats so fast,
D A
And I'm ashamed of running away
E
From nothing real--
F#m
I just can't deal with this,
D F#m E D
But I'm still afraid to be there,
E F#m E D
Among your hounds of love,
E F#m E D
And feel your arms surround me.
E F#m E D
I've always been a coward,
E F#m
And never know what's good for me.
A
Oh, here I go!
E F#m
Don't let me go!
D A
Hold me down!
E F#m D
It's coming for me through the trees.
A E
Help me, darling,
F#m D
Help me, please!
A E
Take my shoes off
F#m D
And throw them in the lake,
A
And I'll be
E F#m D
Two steps on the water.
A E
I don't know what's good for me.
F#m
I don't know what's good for me.
D A E
I need your love love love love love, yeah!
F#m D
Your love!
A E
Take your shoes off
F#m D
And throw them in the lake!
A E
Do you know what I really need?
F#m
Do you know what I really need?
D A
I need love love love love love, yeah!
