Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro , , ,

When the weight of the world bears down so strong, you leave footprints on the

street.

And there's too many miles to face, without a few more hours sleep.

The storm clouds overhead won't shed any rain to quench your thirst

I wanna be the one you reach for first

When your faith is stretched so thin that you can see straight through your soul.

And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile, 'cause your pockets all got holes.

You wanna shut the door and hide before the day can get much worse

I wanna be the one you reach for first

Chorus

Fall into me

My arms are open wide

And you don't have to say a word

'Cause I already see

That it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and it hurts

And I wanna be the one you reach for first

I wanna be the bottle you've been drinking with your eyes

Or the road you run away on, you've been runnin' all your life

The third row pew that you last knew as a child in church

I wanna be the one you reach for first

Chorus

Fall into me

My arms are open wide

And you don't have to say a word

'Cause I already see

That it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and it hurts

And I wanna be the one you reach for first

Before you turn the key, before you fall asleep, before you drift away to fight those demons

waiting for you in your dreams. Before your arms are stretched wide open,

'fore you reach into the sky, before you're searchin' for direction and all the answers to

your whys.

Fall into me

oh, my arms are stretched wide open, you don't have to say a word, because I already

see that it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and I know it hurts. Yes it's hard

and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts and I wanna be the one you reach for

first.

Repeat through end
