C            Em         G  C
How long can sunlight stay warm in the storm
Em        G        C
How long 'til the bathroom's cold

Chorus:
      D#  A#     Cm        G#    D#
Come dawn, come day, come half-awake
      A#         Cm         G#         D#
Come blue, come grey, come waves that break
         A#          Cm    Gm  G#   D#
And it's not enough, no reply, no relief

Dreams of dry fields
That once were green
Burned by someone just like me

Chorus

C#       Cm      G#
 Hold on,   Hold on
    Gm     F      Gm          Dm D#
To save a single living piece of us
A#      Cm
I still got it
   Gm             G#
I still got your heat
