Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When the night  upsets me
 And my bad dreams won't let me  get to sleep  at all
 The whole night through
 When the darkness  surrounds me
 And all my demons just hound me
 That's when I call
 And reach for you
 You have always seen me through
 All the times I've cried
 Now I don't know what I would do
 Without you by my side
 When I'm sad  and lonely
 And it seems like you're the only  friend  I've found
 At least one that's true
 When they all desert  me
 And anybody tries to hurt me
 Well I turn  around and  reach for you
 Sometimes I don't feel so strong
 Even when I try to be
 Everything would turn upside down
 If you weren't here with me
 Well you fill  my heart with gladness
 And don't criticise my madness
 When I'm naked,  cold and blue
 Well hold  me till the morning
 And slowly it comes dawning
 That it's sacred  when I reach for you
 Reach.
