D G x4 


verse 1: 

  D                     G 
Remember coming home at four in the morning 
D                  G 
Before the sun was up 
D                        G 
Back when the east was a fire of gold 
     D                           G              D 
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love 

   G 
Yeah 

    D                       G 
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better 
    D                   G 
For all of our dreams tonight 
    D                       G                           D 
And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most 
                    G 
And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight
