Intro 4x: Am  G  C  

Am 
I 
                                  G  Fmaj7 C 
I can't promise you that I won't let you down 
    Am 
And I 
                                       G   Fmaj7  C 
I can't promise you that I will be the only one around 
          G    Fmaj7  C 
When your hope falls down 
          Am 
But we're young 
                                         G  Fmaj7  C 
Open flowers in the windy fields of this war-torn world 
    Am 
And love 
                                        G     Fmaj7  C         G  Fmaj7  C 
This city breathes the plague of loving things more than their  cre-at-ors

      Am 
I ran away 
                                    G  Fmaj7  C 
I could not take the burden of both me and you 
           Am 
It was too fast 
                                           G    Famj7  C 
Casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break 
              G       Fmaj7      C 
When it was a promise I could not make 
            Am  G  C 
But what if I was wrong? 
          Am  G  C 
O what if I was wrong? 
    Am   G     C                Am   G    C 
But hold on to what you believe in the light 
         Am       G   C                        C2 
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight  (2x)

             Am 
And now this land 
                                                G     Fmaj7  C 
Means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees 
         Am 
At every turn 
                                    G   Fmaj7   C 
The water runs away from me and the halo dis-appears 
                  G     Fmaj7  C 
And the hole when you're not near 
           Am G  C 
So what if I was wrong? 
          Am  G  C 
O what if I was wrong? 
    Am   G     C                Am   G    C 
But hold on to what you believe in the light 
         Am       G   C                        C2 
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight   (4x) 

One strum: 

        Am    G        C        Am  G   C 
So hold on to what you believed in the light
