Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

   G     D   Em A7     D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
      G    B7  Em     C G Am7
You better let somebody love you,

You better let somebody love you before it's too late
