Verse 1:
 
D5                         Aadd4 
I could feel the pressure drop 
                     Bm 
And hope was just a broken bridge 
D5                              Aadd4 
And when the clouds refused to stop 
                      Bm 
You said you'd find a plan for this 
D5                              Add4 
And there was no place I could run 
                          Bm 
Just days without the sun, I was a ghost and waiting 
    G         
To sleep, to dream, to hear you saying 

Pre-chorus 

Bm          D    Em             G 
Don't be afraid, the rain will make us what we are 
Bm          D                  Em                G 
And I will keep you safe, just wait here with me in the dark 
      G                    A 
Cause this feels a whole lot like living 


D5                  Aadd4                Em 
  If it's just a song to keep us in the universe 
G           A 
  When the wars are waging 
D5               Aadd4                        Em 
  I will be strong, there's no chance we can lose this fight 
G              A  
  With the love that I'm facing 
D5                 Aadd4                            Em 
  With a note so long, when the morning comes we'll know the truth 
G                 A 
  The sun will forever keep rising 

Verse 2: “So they plug my wires in...” 

Pre-chorus: “Cause I’m so afraid...” 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
       Bm 
And we sing (And we sing) 
      G                         A                Bm  
So we watch the street lights all fall fast asleep (fast asleep) 
         G                        A             D5 
Yeah, we sing until the sun rains down on everything 

Chorus
 
D5          Aadd4       Bm       
  Keep rising, keep rising, yeah 
G                  A 
  The sun will forever keep rising    (2x) 

End on: D5
