  			Intro G  C  Em7  D 
        G  C  Em7  D 

    G                       C 
The first thing that you'll notice is some 
Em7        D 
Separation from each other 
G            C                 Em7 
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been 
                 D 
Believing since time immemorial 
G             C           Em7 
There was an apple, there was a snake, there 
D 
Was division 
G           C                  Em7 
There was a split, there was a conflict in 
    D            G  C  Em7  D 
The fabric of life 

G          C            Em7               D 
One became two and then everyone was out for 

Themselves 
G             C                  Em7 
Everyone was pitted against each other 
         D 
Conflict ruled the realm 
G          C              Em7 
All our devotions and temperaments are 
       D                   G 
Pulled from different wells 
             C            Em7      D 
They seem to easily forget we are made of 
    G        C  Em7  D 
The same cells 

Refrão 

       G  C          Em7       D 
To my boy: all that energy so wild 
        G   C          Em7      D 
All you hues and your blues in equal measure 
     G                C         Em7  D 
Your comings and your goings-away 
   G             C        Em7           D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes 
G     C  Em7  D 
Ablaze 

     G                   C              Em7 
The second thing you'll notice is that often 
         D                   G 
We think that there's not enough 
              C                   Em7 
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and 
        D                G 
You'll wonder why you're here 
            C            Em7 
You may be overcome with darkness and a 
D                 G 
Sense of hopelessness 
             C             Em7 
But it won't matter if you keep your core 
 D               G       C  Em7  D 
Connected to the one-ness 

Refrão 

      G   C           Em7          D 
To my girl: to your innocence and fire 
         G        C           Em7 
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High 
D 
Water 
     G             C        Em7  D 
This nest is never going away 
   G             C        Em7           D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes 
 G   C  Em7  D 
Ablaze 

Ponte 

         Bm         G 
And this cord is unbreakable 
     Em                           Dsus2 
This pilot light is there in your pocket 
         Bm              G 
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable 
Em                 Dsus2          G 
Even if we all forget, all at the same time 
C          Em7      D 
All at the same time 
         G           C      Em7  D  G  C  Em7  C 
If we forget at the same time 

    G                     C 
The tenth thing you might notice is that 
Em7           D 
Everyone has fantasies 
 G               C                Em7 
Different perspectives they would likely 
      D               G 
Fight over who is right and 
           C             Em7 
Who is the best? Who has won? Who's better 
D 
Than the other? 
G                  C                Em7 
None of that will matter much when you 
          D                 G  C  Em7 
Return to your place in the sun 
     D            G  C  Em7  D 
Your place in the sun 

      G   C           Em7          D 
To my girl: all your innocence and fire 
         G        C           Em7 
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High 
D 
Water 
     G             C         Em7  D 
This nest is never going away 
   G             C        Em7 
My mission is to keep the light in your 
D 
Eyes 

      G  C          Em7       D 
To my boy, all that energy so wild 
          G   C         Em7        D 
Love your hues and your blues in equal 

Measure 
      G               C         Em7  D 
Your comings and your goings-away 
    G            C        Em7           D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes 
    G  C  Em7  D 
Ablaze 

G                       C 
The first thing that you'll notice is that 
  Em7         D       G  C  Em7  D 
Everything is temporary 
    G              C              Em7 
The next you might notice is that we will 
      D         G  C  Em7  D 
Always be a family 
   G             C         Em7           D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
