Verse 1
Am                       G               Am 
Well I ain't your baby I ain't your baby now 
Am                     G                  Am 
Them holy rollers got kicked right out of town 
     C                    G 
It's dark where I've been stayin' 
          Dm            Am 
Gon't you worry come on in 
          C                 G 
Well I've finally found a friend 
G             Am 
I've found a friend

Well you hold my hand as I step into the room 
Am                           G             Am 
And all these people they'll all be fading soon 
     C               G 
It's whisper time remembered 
        Dm               Am 
through armor thorns and knives

to hold on to
