[Refrão]
Can you pull the curtains?
D A F#m
Let me see the sunshine
E D
I think I'm done with my hiding place

And you found me anyway
 
It's been forever
D A F#m
But I'm feeling alright
E D
Tears dry, we'll leave no trace
A B F#m
And tomorrow's another day
 
[Verso 1]
C#m D
Hide and seek
E F#m
I am somewhere closed away
C#m D
You won't believe
E
How long it's been since
F#m
We started the game
C#m D
I can't be seen
E F#m
And you won't find me today
C#m D
I can't be
E F#m
This love, I'll be okay
 
"Are you alright?"
C#m
Maybe, don't ask
D
'Cause you know I never like
E
To talk about that
F#m C#m
The inside, see, I always hold back
D E
And I always wear long sleeves
F#m
Is it in your childhood?
C#m
Something happened in your past
D
But the sadness
E
Promise that it won't last
F#m
And if I could
C#m
I'd try to take it all back
D E
And there's still more underneath
B
And that's when you say to me

I think I'm done with my hiding place

Tears dry, we'll leave no trace

And tomorrow's another day

Let me see the sun shine
F#m E
Shine, shine

Let me see the sun shine

Shine, shine

Let me see the sun shine
F#m E
Shine, shine
D A
Let me see the sun shine
 
( F#m E F#m )
 
[Verso 2]
C#m D
Hide and seek
E F#m
Count to ten and close your eyes
C#m D
Try to breathe
E F#m
See a message and no reply
C#m D
Nice to meet
E F#m
But in reality say goodbye
C#m D
Life can be
E F#m
So beautiful with the drive
C#m
"Are you okay?"
 
Yeah, I guess so
D
But in some days feels like
E
I'm trapped in a hole
F#m
But I keep quiet so
C#m
The ones around me don't know
D E
The mountain feels so steep
F#m
And you say that I'm here
C#m
And that I don't have to carry it alone
D E
And the outside pays in your soul
F#m
Still fighting the dark
C#m
'Cause it left me so cold
D E
The days not out of reach
B
And that's when you say to me
 
[Refrão]

And tomorrow's another day

Let me see the sun shine

Shine, shine
D A
Let me see the sun shine
F#m E
Shine, shine
D A
Let me see the sun shine
F#m E
Shine, shine
D A F#m E
Let me see the sun shine
