Verse 1
G                        D     Em
Come tell me all your fears,
                          D      G
You know, I’m always listening.
                           D
And when the dark draws near,
     Em            D         
I’ll be the light, shining.


G                           D    Em
So come put your weight on me,
                                D       G
‘Cause I got the strength you need.
G                       D
And when you’re dead inside,
Em                      D
I’ll bring you back to life.


Chorus
                  C       G
I can be your chariot,
            Em      D
Carry you to the end.
           C           G
When the battle rages on,
          Em               D
When the fight in you is gone.


                 C       G
I can be your chariot,
             Em      D
Just let me carry you.
               C                G
When there’s nothing left but broken roads,
      Em                 D
I can be your way back home.


Verse 2
G                 D    Em
    You gotta let go,
                    D      G
Be a prisoner no longer.
                   D
You’re on your way up,
Em                  D
Instead of falling over.

G                    D      Em
     Even though it aches,
                     D      G
I’m not ever gunna let you break.
                      D 
You can sleep tonight,
         Em                  D
Knowing love is here to stay.


Chorus
                 C       G
I can be your chariot,
                    D
Carry you to the end.
           C           G
When the battle rages on,
          Em               D
When the fight in you is gone.


                 C       G
I can be your chariot,
             Em      D
Just let me carry you.
                 C                     G
When there’s nothing left but broken roads,
      Em                 D
I can be your way back home.

Let me take, take the weights

Off your feet, cast them out into the deep.
                    D
I came to set you free.

Let me be, be the reason that you need
