Intro: C Am Em (4x)
C Am Em
Relax my hands on the table.
C Am Em C
Uncurl my fingers to reveal superficial indentations.
Am Em
Crescent moon shapes mark the surface of my palms,
C Am Em C
It's twilight: your shadows lurking over again.
Am Em C Am Em
your shadows lurking over again.
C Am Em (2x)
C Am Em
Try to hinder foolish pride
C Am
From shooting out my mouth like a gust of wind
Em C
And blowing out your light.
Am Em
All I want is you to shine.
C Am Em
And I'll wait here with you until sunrise. (4x)

I am blinded by your light,
C Am Em
Your dark shadows always lurking behind you. (2x)

And I'll wait here with you until sunrise. (2x)
