Protector

Dm F C D D5 F C



[Verse 1]
Dm                   F         C
You don't have to be alone all by yourself
Dm                    F                 C
Tired of doing things just to save your mental health
Dm                            F               C
You made a wish and then you lost it down the wishing well
B
But when you're with me
F               C
There's no need to be
Dm                            F             C
So tell me is there somewhere else that you wanna go?
Dm                                  F                 C
'Cause you've been running round in circles, stuck in slow-mo
Dm                             F            C
I've got that feeling that you really wanna hit the door
B
If you've lost the fight
F              C
Then let's win the war


[Pre Chorus]
Gm
When you're tired of hiding
B
And you've gotta run, hop right in
F
Sit shotgun, I'm driving
N.C.
I'll be your protector

[Chorus]
Dm
Who's gonna be there when
C
Everything is tumbling down?
B
Who's gonna be there when
F                    C
You fall to keep you off of the ground?
Dm
I'll be your shelter
C
They'll never get ya
B
So stay with me and
N.C.
I'll be your protector

[Verse 2]
Dm                  F                   C
No it ain't easy to survive up in these city streets
Dm                     F                 C
Lookin' for someone to help you when you scrape your knees
Dm                       F                C
Takin' too many punches, now it's getting hard to breathe
B                   F          C
I'll be your reason so you can believe

[Pre Chorus]
Gm
Are you waiting for someone?
B
Just hold on, here I come
F                          C
To fix when you're undone
            Gm
Now tell me when you're tired of hiding
B
And you gotta run, hop right in
F
Sit shotgun, I'm driving
N.C
I'll be your protector


[Chorus]
Dm
Who's gonna be there when
C
Everything is tumbling down?
B
Who's gonna be there when
F                    C
You fall to keep you off of the ground?
Dm
I'll be your shelter
C
They'll never get ya
B
So stay with me and
F            C
I'll be your protector
Dm
(Ohh-oh-oh)
C
(Oh-whoa)
B
(Ohh-oh-oh)
F            C
I'll be your protector


[Bridge]
Dm                      C
So life is a tightrope, and it's hard to maintain
C
Let me hold your umbrella, and never feel the rain
Dm
You're standing on the edge now, stay close

I'm going 12 rounds, ready for another dose
Dm                                   C
Your momma said, "Never run from the devil"
C
Steel chin, and a fist made of metal
Dm
Look at my face, serious as a heart attack

Comin' in your corner, shades on, dressed in black

[Pre Chorus]
Gm
Who's gonna be there when
B
Everything is tumbling down?
F
Who's gonna be there when
C
You fall to pick you up off the ground?
Gm
I'll be your shelter
B
They'll never get ya
F
So stay with me and
N.C.
I'll be your protector


[Chorus]
Dm
Who's gonna be there when
C
Everything is tumbling down?
B
Who's gonna be there when
F                    C
You fall to keep you off of the ground?
Dm
I'll be your shelter
C
They'll never get ya
B
So stay with me and
F            C
I'll be your protector


[Outro]
Dm                     C
Who's gonna be there? (Ohh-oh-oh)
B
Who's gonna be there
F           C
To pick you off of the ground?
Dm
I'll be your shelter
C
They'll never get ya
B
So stay with me and
B            N.C.
I'll be your protector
