[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am C Dm
From what I've gathered you grew up nice and sheltered
Em G F E
With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies
E
And mama gave me a magic clicker
F E Am
Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say
Am Dm E
C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing
Am Dm E Am
Of the fire you're bearing, the eye of the darkness, your light
Am F G
So you were drawn to stories early on
Am F E
My dreams would light up my imagination
Am F G
And you had nightmares night and day
Am F E Am
Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away
Am
Who knew?
E
So true
[Pre-chorus]
Am G Dm E
So here is a clue of hope to remember
Am G Dm E Am
Visions they come true obeying the light switch too
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm C
Diving deep to the surface
[Verse 2]
Am C Dm
And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers
Em G F E
of hardboiled killers became bestsellers
E F E Am
It was all too much, I had to get away
Am G Dm E
The story's the end all, a piece of true fiction
Am Dm E Am
Made meaningless in the face of creation
Am F G
But there is more to it than meets the eye
Am F E Am
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
Am F G
Would you say you lived a jaded lie
Am F E Am
Dark shades could never save the day
Am
So sad,
E
But true
[Pre-chorus]
Am G Dm E
Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch
Am Dm E Am
A gift or a curse, a reality made of dreams
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm C
Diving deep to the surface
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am E
He could write a new story like Tom Zane before him
Am Dm E
And maybe they'd be happy once again
Am Dm E
Just one shot, one more chance for him to save their marriage
Am Dm E A# Am A# E
Away from the city, a romantic getaway
[Pre-chorus]
Am G Dm E
Still he's the torch bearer and it couldn't be much clearer
Am G Dm E
A war needs its warrior, true and right
Am Dm E
But the darkness within him held her hostage
Am G Dm E Am
Had he seen her drowning, would have save her from the darkness of the lake
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm C
Diving deep to the surface

Am F E
Such a Dark Place? Am I trapped in here
Am F E
Is this real? I cannot remember
Am F E
There was a manuscript it held a key
Am Dm
A vicious cycle I must not surrender to
A# A7 Dm
Echo scenes to seek out
A# A7 Dm
Again and again
A# A7 Dm
Until I figure it out
A# A7 Dm A# C
To bring this song to its end
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm C
Diving deep to the surface
