G                    D
Through the driving rain
                 Am
I have lost the words
                    Em
To peace us back together
    D               G
To tell you how it hurts.

Cause lately we've been breaking
All we built so far
And I'm tired of sitting waiting
Alone in the dark

          Em    D  Am           C
There's still away to make it right
       Em         D           G
We'll find the strength this time.

Chorus:
                D
And pull back this veil
               Am
Turn night into day
            Em          D                         G
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
                    D
Pour oil on these flames
             Am
Speed up my heart again
           Em           D                         C      D
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

Round we go in circles
Does it have to be this hard?
We could stop the fighting
If you let down your guard

There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

Chorus

                          Em
So come on, come on, come on
            D                     C
We've been living in the shadows too long
                          D
So come on, come on, come on

Chorus:
Just pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know?
You're standing in the way of the light
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know?
You're standing in the way of the light
(Come on, come on, come on)
You're standing in the way of the light

Just pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know?
You're standing in the way of the light
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know?
You're standing in the way of the light
(Come on, come on, come on)
You're standing in the way of the light
You're standing in the way of the light
