[Verse 1]
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
I lost my heart in San Francisco years ago
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
I've been back to search but the curse is getting worse, don't you know
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
That the hardest blow to take is the one that you don't, really know
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
Is around the corner and ready to floor you, it looms and it goads
[Chorus]
D Dm
And we'll find some piece of mind
A A7
From the shadows
D Dm
And I know that we could climb just to pass the time
A A7
Like the heroes
D E F#
Who stand up in their prime, lost but still they shine
[Post-Chorus]
| F# F#m | F# F#m | D | C# |
[Verse 2]
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
I was solo and alfresco years ago
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
And I fan the flames that keep me burning don't you know
F# F#m F# F#m D C#
That I'm finding it harder still climbing up to this hill without you, clinging on
F# F#m F# F#m D
Don't open the wounds that scarred you it just makes things harder to prove where you're
C#
from
[Chorus]
D Dm
And we'll find some piece of mind
A A7
From the shadows
D Dm
And I know that we could climb just to pass the time
A A7
Like the heroes
D E
Who stand up in their prime, lost but still they shine

Yes, we'll find some piece of mind
A A7
From the shadows

And I know that we could climb just to pass the time
A A7
Like the heroes
D E
Who stand up in their prime, lost but still they shine
