verse 1: 
   G#m           E            B 
Sunlight, fading fast, make it last 
       F#/A#  C#m                 G#m 
Like a flame, flickers then it’s past  
    G#m            E        B 
Moonlight fades to dark, carry on 
    F#/A#             C#m               G#m 
You never know what’s real until it’s gone 

PreChorus 1: 
F#/A#          E            B 
Love deals the currency of loss 
      F#/A#   E          F#/A# 
Don’t ever forget what it costs 

Chorus:
