[Verse 1]
          Am              G           Am             G
There's a light on in the hallway, so I can't understand
        Am                  G       Em  G     Am
Why you hide underneath the covers
          Am           G        Am                 G
There's a baby in your womb, so don't be scared tonight
Am                    G              Em
Raggedy Ann is in the closet picking posies
 
 
[Chorus]
G   Am
Two babies in the dark, like diamonds in the sand
      G
While papa's far away making up children's stories
    C
The little one's inside, so afraid to be alone
      Bm                             Em
She's tired of being brave until the daddy comes home

[Verse 2]
   Am               G               Am               G
So if you chance to see her, please tell her it's alright
       Am                   G            Em
'Cause everybody fights the tendency to snap
G   Am               G         Am              G
Sometimes it's not a matter of being brave and strong
       Am            G              Em
'Cause noises in the house are terrifying
 
 
[Chorus]
G   Am
Two babies in the dark, like diamonds in the sand
      G
While papa's far away making up children's stories
    C
The little one's inside, so afraid to be alone
      Bm                              Em
She's talking to herself, now, 'cause no one's home
 
 
[Bridge] (staccato)
F
       I'll put you to sleep at night
Em
   Like a foreign movie
F
      I'll sing you lullabies
Em
      And I'll teach you about everything
F                             G
    And I'll only ask one thing
 
Please save me, ah
