C         Am       Em     G 
I want to see that smile 
C   Am      Em   G 
Radiate for miles. 
C           Am        Em    G 
Wake up and hold that light 
C               Am      Em    G 
To shake up the shadows right. 

Verse 
Am                 G         F 
I know the madness has all become the normal. 
Am                   G      F 
I'd hate to regress. Degenerations futile. 
Am                 G            F 
Some reek of power while I seek not to wither. 
Am                   G         F 
My will's gone sour. Fermented failures sifted. 

C         Am       Em     G 
I want to see that smile 
C   Am      Em   G 
Radiate for miles. 
C           Am        Em    G 
Wake up and hold that light 
C               Am      Em    G 
To shake up the shadows right. 

Verse 
Am                    G           F 
I'd love to trade all the old foundations rusted. 
Am                    G       F 
My tongue is twisted. My recollection's busted. 
Am                     G           F 
No point in holding on to pressure boiling over. 
Am                     G          F 
No point in holding on to whats insane. 

Bridge
C        Em                      Am               C 
I'll say long to the high of innocence and reminiscing. 
C                                         Em 
I'm holding on to the shine that saved me and 
                  Am                           G 
the time that you gave and the time I stripped away. 

C         Am       Em     G 
I want to see that smile 
C   Am      Em   G 
Radiate for miles. 
C           Am        Em    G 
Wake up and hold that light 
C               Am      Em    G    C 
To shake up the shadows right.
