Intro: Am C G F

     Am    
On nights like tonight when no one's around
   C
I put on the record, the record I found
     G
When I was a kid and the world was a town
         F
And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful


 Am 
Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
     C
Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless
    G
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
    F
And all is forgiven


    Am 
On nights like tonight when no one's around
   C
I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground
      G
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
F
Truth be told I don't know


Am    G      F
Who's at the helm
G            F
But just sit tight
        Em          D
I'll make my way to you
F       Em          D
I'll make my way to you


Instrumentals: Am C G F


Am           F
If I'm not on time
Am       F
Remember that I tried


Am
Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
     C
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
     G
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
      F
Where all is forgiven


   Am
On nights like tonight when no one's around
  C
I turn off the lights and I float off the ground
      G
And I smile like I used to when you were around
    F
But truth be told I don't know


Am    G      F
Who's at the helm
G            F
Just sit tight
        Em       D
I'll make my way to you
F       Em              D  
I'll find a way to get to you


Instrumental

D
I don't know 
Am    G      F
Who's at the helm
   G            F
But just sit tight
F        Em                 D            
And I'll find a way to get to you
