C#m B A E
[Verse 1]
C#m
Carry on
B
Just as you were
A
This evening sky is long
E
Burnt out, hmm
C#m
And carry on
B
And don't say a word
A
Cause this night is
E
crumbling around us
E
It's crumbling around us
[Chorus]
C#m
And I don't know how far we'll fall
A
But don't look down
E
Don't look down
C#m
'Cause all the light I've saved for you
A
It's burning out
E
Burning out
[Verse 2]
C#m
So kill the lights
B
And put it in neutral
A
And we'll slip down below
E
Slip down below
C#m
And dip your feet
B
Into the darkness of the river
A
And walk in slow
E
Walk in slow
[Chorus]
C#m
'Cause I don't know how far we'll fall
A
But don't look down
E
Don't look down
C#m
'cause all the light I've saved for you
A
It's burning out
E
Burning out
