The Lion

Gm F Oooooh oooooh Gm F Oooooh oooooh Cm Gm What have I told you? F You wanted someone quiet F I just kept runnin' fast Cm Away from my comin' past Gm What did you say to me? F You got a lot of night in you F You're just a lion with things to prove Cm So just keep lyin' to me Gm Just keep tucking in my sheets F Telling me darling you'™re a feral one F And that you best be scared of me Cm What have I said to you Gm Thought in your arms I'™d find my strength F But you just took it away F I guess you said ... Cm Oh, you know 'cause what's the use? Gm What's the use of tryin'? F She's in a room with her eyes closed F She's in a room with no windows Cm So tired Gm I was frightened of the night F Until I took it in my hands, oh F To shut out all the light F Gm Gm F What do I look like Cm A little girl lost Cm A little lost cause Gm F Is that pity in your eyes F At least you warned me first F That it's supposed to hurt Gm So just keep pushin' me F Just keep tryin' harder Cm I'™m not a hero or a martyr Cm Think I'™m the villain of this story Gm Oh, please F If you know what'™s good for me Cm You'™ll just keep me feeling lonely Cm Until it puts me on my knees Gm Oh, you know 'cause what's the use? F What's the use of tryin'? Cm She's in a room with her eyes closed Cm She's in a room with no windows Gm So tired F I was frightened of the night Cm Until I took it in my hands, oh Cm To shut out all the light, oh Gm As I grow older I become F Less afraid of the dark Cm And more afraid of growing older Cm Mmmmmm Gm So won't you kiss me up to God F Cause he knows what I want Cm Just for something to believe in Cm Cause I'm not Gm F Cm Oooooh ooooooh Gm F Cm Oooooh ooooooh Gm He said 'Oh, child F You got that lion in you Cm Let me lay you down Cm You'll feel alright when it's through.' Gm He said 'Oh, child F You got that lion in you Cm Let me lay you down Cm You'll feel alright when it's through.' Gm He said 'Oh, child F You got that lion in you Cm Let me lay you down Cm You'll feel alright ...' Chorus 4 Gm F As I grow older I become Cm Less afraid of the dark Gm F And more afraid of growing older Cm Mmmmmm Gm F So won't you kiss me up to God Cm Cause he knows what I want Gm F Just for something to believe in Cm Cause I'm not Gm F Cm
