A               E
When I was a child:
                F#m
Running in the night,
D                       A
Afraid of what might be
                E
Hiding in the dark,
                F#m
Hiding in the street,
        D                       F#m    E      D
And of what was following me...
                E               F#m    E      D
Now hounds of love are hunting.
                E               F#m    E      D
I've always been a coward,
                E               F#m
And I don't know what's good for me.
        A
Here I go!
E               F#m            D
It's coming for me through the trees.
A               E
Help me, someone!
                F#m             D
Help me, please!
A               E
Take my shoes off,
                F#m             D              A
And throw them in the lake, and I'll be
        E       F#m            D
Two steps on the water.
A       E
I found a fox
                F#m
Caught by dogs.
        D                       A
He let me take him in my hands.
        E
His little heart,
        F#m
It beats so fast,
        D                       A
And I'm ashamed of running away
                E
From nothing real--
                F#m
I just can't deal with this,
        D               F#m    E      D
But I'm still afraid to be there,
                E               F#m    E      D
Among your hounds of love,
                E               F#m    E      D
And feel your arms surround me.
                E               F#m    E      D
I've always been a coward,
                E               F#m
And never know what's good for me.
A
Oh, here I go!
E               F#m
Don't let me go!
D               A
Hold me down!
        E               F#m            D
It's coming for me through the trees.
A               E
Help me, darling,
        F#m     D
Help me, please!
A               E
Take my shoes off
F#m             D
And throw them in the lake,
        A
And I'll be
E               F#m            D
Two steps on the water.
A               E
I don't know what's good for me.
                        F#m
I don't know what's good for me.
                D                       A              E
I need your love love love love love, yeah!
F#m     D
Your love!
A               E
Take your shoes off
F#m             D
And throw them in the lake!
A                       E
Do you know what I really need?
                        F#m
Do you know what I really need?
        D                               A
I need love love love love love, yeah!
