A
Lap of light
            E              E
Cover the way and keep my side
          C#m
Or steal away from me
            D                     A
And keep a tight lip in secret silence

Eyes like mine
Watching you blow us all to hell
But if you took our lives
There would be no one to tell your story

Chorus:
E              A      D   E
And how can I make you understand?
           F#m  D       E
Lying with you, I held your hand
             A     D        E
"Never look down", I heard you say
         F#m         D                       E
But it's over and I just can't believe I'm wrong
How can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down", I heard you say
But it's over and I knew it was all along

Wild like time
Why can't you believe or just abide
The way I tell you so?
I stop the day for one simple sideshow

Seasons smile
And we were unable to stay warm
But in the darkest night
And there's an ember that's always burning

Chorus
