[Verse]

Em              C
I lay awake at night
                          G
Through hollow halls you cry
                D
It’s crazy we survived

But we’re alive

Em                        C
You’re way too young to know
                        G
I’m grateful that you don't
                      D
It’s hard to make a home, make a home
            Em
Feel like anything other than boxes
C
Skeletons swinging in empty closets
G
I cover your eyes,
         D
But someday soon you’ll know

[Chorus]
          Em
I can’t spare you from the darkness
         C
I can’t fix a broken heart
           G                                  D
But I can use my scars to guide you when the world tears you apart
          Em
I can’t stop the walls from falling
         C
But I’ll be the arms you fall in
             G
‘Til you’re ready for your calling
    D
To live
                       Em
Where the wild things are
                       C
Where the wild things are
                       G
Where the wild things are
                       D
Where the wild things are

[Verse]
Em                 C
I hope you never lose
                   G
That innocence in you
                          D
It’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s true.
Em                   C
You’re growing up I know
                      G
You know you’re not alone
                            D
I did my best to make our home, feel like home, feel like
Em
Anything other than boxes
C
Skeletons swinging in empty closets
G                             D
I can’t cover your eyes, but I’ll always be close

[Chorus]
          Em
I can’t spare you from the darkness
         C
I can’t fix a broken heart
           G                                  D
But I can use my scars to guide you when the world tears you apart
          Em
I can’t stop the walls from falling
         C
But I’ll be the arms you fall in
             G
‘Til you’re ready for your calling
    D
To live
                       Em
Where the wild things are
                       C
Where the wild things are
                       G
Where the wild things are
                       D
Where the wild things are
Em          C           G     D
Hold on to who you are
Em          C
Hold on to who you are
 G         D
Hold on, hold on
Em
Hold on to you
