[Intro]
D G D G D
[Verse 1]
D G
When dawn comes back
D
I won't trust the light
G
'Cause everything it shines on
D
Has to say goodbye
D
When dawn comes back
D
I won't laugh at the sun
G
Or the waves when they bend
D
And pretend that they won't come undone
[Chorus]
G A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side
D G A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light
D
Hold on to the light
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
D G
Well, if I take a picture, could I stop it in its tracks?
D
I know, I know there's nothing I can do to bring it back
G D
The light that comes in, well, it tends to just go where it wants
G
Why do I write it down and will it ever be enough?
D
We'll lift up all the memories, can we carry on the love?
G
'Cause the light when it bends as it falls through the limbs
D
And pretends that it won't come undone
[Chorus]
G A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side
D G A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light
D
Hold on to the light
G A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side
D G A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light
D
Hold on to the light
G A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side
D G A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light
D
Hold on to the light
