CC
You don't have to be so scared,
AmG
You don't have to go tonight,

We just need to hold on tight,
Am (finger thing) G
For one hell of a ride.

CC
'Cause we lost it all just now,
AmG
To the night that left you out,
CC
So we'll let this go somehow,
AmG
But you're gonna be proud.

C
And I just needed you to lift me up,
C
Like you did when we were younger,
AmG
When the lightening and the thunder had me clinging to your heart,
C
For someone to lift me up,
C
When I'm down and I'm forgotten,
Am* G
You'll forever be my father and I will be saving tears in jars for this one.
