C              G
As I lay me down
Am              Em
Heaven hear me now
Dm                  F
I'm lost without a cause
Dm                  G
After giving it my all

C                    G
Winter storms has come
Am              Em 

                  



        F                Em
After all my strength is gone
F                  G
In you I can move on

           C     G
I look to you
           Am   Dm
I look to you

          F           Em
And when melodies are gone
   Dm           G
In you I hear a song
           C
I look to you
