Capo 3
 
Bm
It was a cold night in the factory alone
D G
When the wolves knocked on my door
Bm
There was a sea of light running out of my eyes
D G
I was forced to fight, I was forced to grow
 
Bm D G
And so the nights went with summer hearts for the love we share
Bm D G
And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show
 
D G
Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you
Bm G
Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you
 
Bm D
I am on your side when your heart is falling through
G D
I am just outside I’ve been dancing with the wolves
G Bm D G
But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses
 
Bm
I am the only truth in all of your lies
D G
But I’m the hardest one to believe
Bm
There was a flash of light running over our heads
D G
In the distance she was stood on stones that I won’t tread
 
Bm D G
And so the nights went with summer hearts for the love we share
Bm G G
And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show
 
D G
Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you
Bm G
Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you
 
Bm D
I am on your side when your heart is falling through
G D
I am just outside I’ve been dancing with the wolves
 
G Bm D G x2
But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses
