[Verse 1]
C
Don't try to call
There are some bridges that burn
Beyond recognition beyond repair
Don't say you've changed
There are some forces that turn
Beyond recollection beyond my stare
Bb F
When I feel the cold in the dark
C
I know you're there
[Verse 2]
C
Long ago I was a woman in pain
A woman in need
I ran to you
Long ago I did not understand
You were making me bleed
I ran to you
Bb F
When I feel the cold in the dark
C
I know what you do
[Chorus]
F
I will crawl through my past
Dm
Over stones blood and glass
Am Am
In the ruins
F
Reaching under the fence
Dm
As I try to make sense
Am
In the ruins
[Verse 3]
C
I know your heart has held its own fear
It's perfectly clear What they did to you
C
In my heart it's the screaming I hear
I won't let them come near Since my love knew you
Bb F
When I feel the cold in the dark

C
I remember you
[Chorus]
F
I will crawl through my past
Dm
Over stones blood and glass
Am Am
In the ruins
F
Reaching under the fence
Dm
As I try to make sense
Am Am
In the ruins
[Verse 4]
C
Night after night
I am carving it out
I will carry it down to the waterside
C
Night after night
I am hearing the sound
Of wings that come beating
I will not hide
Bb F
When I feel the cold in the dark
C
I will know why
[Chorus]
F
I will crawl through my past
Dm
Over stones blood and glass
Am Am
In the ruins
F
Reaching under the fence
Dm
As I try to make sense
Am Am
In the ruins
[Outro]
F
But if I am to heal
Dm
I must first learn to feel
Am Am
In the ruins
F Dm
I will crawwl, I will crawwl
Am Am
I will crawwl
