            Dm    C                           F  A#
Where do I turn to when there's no choice to make?
           Dm       C                          F  A#
And how do I presume when there's so much at stake?
       Dm     C     F  A#
I was so sure of it all

Chorus:
                F    A#              Dm  F
But what if I need you in my darkest hour?
                 F    A#             Dm   F
And what if it turns out there is no other?
     A# F       A#   F
If this is our last hope
 F        A#    F
We would see a sign, oh
 F        A#    F
We would see a sign

Well I've been running from the ashes we left
Forgiveness begs for itself but how can I forget
There's a stain on it all

Chorus:
But what if I need you in my darkest hour?
What if it turns out there is no other?
We had it all
If this is our time now
We wanna see a sign, oh
We would see a sign

So give us a sign
I need some guiding light
Children of darkness, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
