Not Afraid Of The Dark

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
           D
I'm not afraid of the dark,
    G         D
But I used to be
      G
That little kid hiding under covers
       Bm                     A
Every time the lights turned out

                       D
That was then, this is now,
         G                      D
And the monsters ain't in the closet
      G
The stuff that scares me most
           Bm                     A
Is hiding right outside my front door


CHORUS:
                  G
'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger
         D                  A
But my problems got bigger too
A          G
As days go by, I'm brought to realize
           D                  A
That I'll never stop needing You

      G
So I bow my head
 G
Say my prayers,
     D                A
I'm asking You for strength
         G
I can't make it on my own,
                A
There ain't no way


VERSE:
                    D
I used to run away from home,
      G            D
When life got too hard
                 G
Retreat to that tree line down the road
         Bm                 A
Under a night sky full of stars

           D
Man, I've come so far,
              G                     D
I don't even live in that house anymore
    G
But if I'm being honest,
           Bm             A
I'm still running in my heart


CHORUS:
                  G
'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger
         D                  A
But my problems got bigger too
A          G
As days go by, I'm brought to realize
           D                  A
That I'll never stop needing You

      G

 G
Say my prayers,
     D                A
I'm asking You for strength
         G
I can't make it on my own,
                A
There ain't no way

      G     A
Ooh, Father
 A     G   A
Father-er

BDA K:
     G                 G
And all those nights, You held me tight
         D                A
I still need to feel You near me
     G
And all those days I ran away
          D                  A
You were right there waiting on me
          G                        A
You were right there waiting on me


CHORUS:
                  G

And say my prayers,
     D                A
I'm asking You for strength

I can't make it on my own,

There ain't no way
