(verse)
Am F/C
The hurry’s gonna bring you to your knees I know this much is true
Am F C
Your eyes are gonna rob you of your thunder Show you everything but you
Am F/C
We’re caught when are hands are off the wheel And our foot is on the gas
Am F C
Like a moth to a flame, the fire moves us We’re just waiting on the crash
F C G
You know we will
[Refrão]C
Let the drumbeats wash you over
G
Let the songs come and take you under
Am F
Push the life that brought you here away from you tonight
C
There’s a place where the pain can’t touch ya
G
And there’s a fire where the heat won’t burn ya
Am F
It’s in the sound of your voice tonight singing in one song
(verse 2)
Am F/C
You can hear it in the trail behind your voice There’s a multitude who claim
Am F C
They’ve been through the fire of fallen angels And they’ll never be the same
Am F/C
We live with the weight of what we’ve done The cracks that we slip through
Am F C
No time to forget about our future Just the things that we won’t do
F C G
But you know you can’t
