CAPO 3!!!
[Verse]
G Em
Echoes of "you'll never be
G Em G Em
good enough" still haunt my mind
G Em
Banished ghosts lurking
G Em G Em
in the shadows I've left far behind
G Em
I've faced all of those monsters
G Em G Em
and rebuilt myself within these walls
G Em G
Refusing to give in, I've grown
Em G Em
a garden of love despite it all
G Em
G Em
G Em
G Em
[Verse]
G Em
Too quick to fall
G Em G Em
I ran with all your energy and I matched mine
G Em
unsure if I've read the words
G Em G Em
as you meant or was it in my mind
G Em
What is this thing
G Em G Em
that we've entangled our hearts around right here
G Em G
We're both madly running tumbling
Em G Em G
down this big fast hill together my dear
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G
But did I go to far
Em C G
at least that's how it all seemed
Em C G
unsure of what's to come
Em C G
maybe you're only in my dreams
[Chorus]
C G
Be my light out of the darkness
C G
Hold my hand when I'm afraid
C D G C
dance with me madly, under the starlight
Em D G
chasing all the monsters away
G Em
G Em
[Verse]
G Em
With the silence that grows longer
G Em G Em
each word falls slower than the last
G Em
unable to move for fear of
G Em G Em
the bodies laid out from my past
G Em
I'm damned if I don't
G Em
and if I do ask for clarity...
G Em
will it pay off all the sorrows
G Em G Em
that this lifetime has long dealt me ...
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G
And when it's all gone too far
Em C G
draw the line or open the door
Em C G
shadows playing tricks on me
Em C G
when my doubts all fall to the floor
[Chorus]
C D G
Be my light out of the darkness
C D G
Hold my hand when I'm afraid
C D G Em
dance with me madly, under the starlight
Em D G
chasing all the monsters away
[Bridge]
C
And with a single word
D
You fix all my fears
G Em
and bring light into the dark
C
Already all the world to me
D
You drive away the memories
G D
And heal my broken heart
[PRE-CHORUS] (breakdown)
Em D G
tell me when I go too far
Em D G
tell me if you fear my dreams
Em D G Em
fill the space within my head, my love
Em D Em
I'm never sure what all the silence means...
[Chorus]
C G
Be my light out of the darkness
C G
Hold my hand when I'm afraid
C D G Em
dance with me madly, under the starlight
Em D Em
chasing all the monsters away
C D G Em
oh, take my heart and dance with me
Em D C Em
chase all the monsters away
G Em
G Em
(ooooOOOOoooo)
G Em
(oooooOOOoooo)
G Em
(ooooOOOOoooo)
G Em G Em
Chasing all the monsters away (softly)
G Em G Em
Chasing all the monsters away (quieter)
G Em G Em (fade chord volume - ritardando)
