Some men do it 'cause it pays the bills, 
C 
Others want to save the world. 
Am                 F     C 
Me myself, I never was a hero though. 
C 
Joined the force like my daddy did. 
C 
Figured I'd marry young, 
        Am                       F      C 
But the things I've seen made me take a different road.

'Til you've been in the dark you might never feel it. 
G                       F                           Am  G  F 
'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're guaranteed 
         Am   G   F             C 
But your life can leave, with a spark. 

    C          G      F      Am  F         C 
The rain falls on the blessed ones and the damned. 

C 
Met my girl about a year ago, 
C 
Knew that I'd found a home, 
Am                     F      C 
Laughed so much I felt like a kid again 
C 
Since that day it's hard to do the job, 
C 
It's hard to know what I've known, 
Am                F      C 
So much pain, and so few innocent. 

G                       F                    C 
'Til you've been in the dark you might never question, 
G                       F                           Am  G  F 
'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're quarantined, 
          Am  G     F 
Yeah, but nothing's free 
         Am   G   F 
And your love can leave, 
       C 
In the dark. 

    F                 C 
The rain falls on the blessed ones, 
    F                 C 
The rain falls on the damned, 
    F                 C 
And you've changed my mind, 
  Am   G   F 
I love you more, 
       Am   G  F 
Than I love myself, 
        Am     G  F 
And I'm scared to death, 
         Am   G  C 
That you love me less
