Em D G C 

 Em   G              C               G 
 Wait, I think we're on to something we can't run from 
 Em   G           C              G 
 Fate, but we can let it take us down 
           Em   G              C            G 
 Down this road, where all our colors run together 
                Em                G 
 Let's take the worst and make it better 
                 C               G 
 Let's take this mess and make a home 


                Am* 
 I know it gets hard for you to stay, 
                           C* 
 But do you really want to throw it all away? 



 (I'm thinking) 
G                           C 
 That we could make forever after all 
         Em                  D 
 Finding gold in our darkest moments 
              G                        C 
 Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses 
G                      C 
 We don't ever have to leave these walls 
             Em                D 
 I'll be the boy with a silver lining 
               G                       C 
 You'll be the girl with a cinderblock garden 

G G C C 
Em D G C 


   Em    G             C                    G 
 Tonight, take all the ghosts and all those skeletons you 
 Em  G               C                G 
 Hide, and bury them deep beneath the ground 
          Em   G                     C                G 
 Let them miss, because you were the man to bare that burden 
             Em            G 
 Look at the roses in your garden 
         C                  G 
 You can breathe now and forget  


               Am* 
 I get it gets hard for you to stay 
                             C* 
 But we don't really need to throw it all away 


 (I'm thinking) 
G                           C 
 That we could make forever after all 
         Em                  D 
 Finding gold in our darkest moments 
              G                        C 
 Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses 
G                      C 
 We don't ever have to leave these walls 
             Em                D 
 I'll be the boy with a silver lining 
               G                       C 
 You'll be the girl with a cinderblock garden

Em D G C 

 Em                      C 
 Just hold for out for tomorrow 
                 G 
 Our dreams will follow, 
           D  
 Follow us back to where 
Em                 C 
 Where nothing was broken 
                G 
 The future was open 
                D 
 Let's go back again 


G*                          C* 
 That we could make forever after all 
         Em                  D 
 Finding gold in our darkest moments 
              G                        C 
 Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses 
G                      C 
 We don't ever have to leave these walls 
             Em                D 
 I'll be the boy with a silver lining 
               G                       C 
 You'll be the girl with a cinderblock garden
