I think the album version's in a different key, so capo the second fret
if you want to play along with the record. This one's got an Al Green feel,
so get those shuffle shoes on...

You're safe in sorrow.
So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real.

There's no need to be
So safe in sorrow
Let me turn on the light
Then you will see
My love is for free

You're safe from sorrow now.
