(Copo on 1)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(G) / (C) / |(G) / / / |(G) / (C) /

(Verse 1)
I've (G)storm chased, a-(C)long the Oregon (G)coastline
Tried (D/F#)dodging lies and (Em)landmines (C) that never worked too (G) well
(C) And I've been (G)war-torn, (C)beaten down and (G)bruised bad
A (D/F#)Northwestern (Em)nomad, (C) crying out for help (G)

(Chorus)
So won't you (C)please pro-(G)tect my soul?
All I (C) need is a (G)hand to hold
To (C)drive out the darkness and (G)leave a little (D)love in its (C)place
And (NC)heal this heart you didn't break

(Instrumental)
|(G) / / / |(G) / (C) / |(G) / / / |(G) / (C)

(Verse 2)
Well, I've (G)wandered
(C)Desert sands and (G)mountain tops
I (D/F#)tested God and (Em)lost a lot
(C) And blamed somebody (G)else
(C) And I've got (G)skeletons
They're (C)knocking on my (G)closet door
And I (D/F#)can't hold them (Em)back no more
(C) All by myself (G)

(Chorus)
So won't you (C)please pro-(G)tect my soul?
All I (C) need is a (G)hand to hold
To (C)drive out the darkness and (G)leave a little (D)love in its (C)place
And (NC)heal this heart you didn't break (G)
(G) Oh, (C)heart you didn't break, (G) / / / hey, (C)come on now 

(Instrumental)
|(Em) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / /

(Bridge)
And I (D)might not deserve what I'm asking (Em)for (D)
I (C)burned all my chances, but I'd give my (G)life for one (D)more
I'm begging you (Em)down (D)on my (C)knees

(Chorus)
So won't you (C) please pro-(G)tect my (D)soul?
All (C)I need is a (G)hand to (D)hold
(C)Please pro-(G)tect my (D)soul
All I (C) need is a (G)hand to (D)hold
To (C)drive out the darkness and (G) leave some (D)love in its (C)place
And (C)heal this heart you didn't break (G)

(Outro.)
Oh (C) (Em)
(C)Heal this heart you didn't break (G)
Ooh, (C)find a little (Em)space
And (C)heal this heart you didn't break (G) - - - - -
