verse 1 

A 
I used to see a light shining like diamond in the darkest night 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 
     A 
And I used to walk alone searching for a treasure under every stone 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 

verse 2 

  A 
I once believed in love, sending up wishes to the stars above 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 
  A 
I used to hide my faith, there'd always be something to light my way 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 
        F#                              D                         A 
I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it, I don't see it anymore 


Chorus 

        F#           D 
I don't need this anymore 
    A                           D 
My passion was a fire that consumed me to the core 
        F#                              D 
And the breeze that comes up from the shore 
        A                        D 
I don't need it anymore, I don't need it anymore 
        A                        D 
I don't need it anymore, I don't need it anymore 
          E                          D 
I risk to lose it all just to have a little bit more

He used to seem so bright, brighter than explosions on the fourth of July
