[Verse 1]
D            F             D
I can't keep up with these heavy hands
                           G
I've been covering all the light
         Em
Covering all the light
               D    F
Coming from my window
D                G             Em
  And I need the light so hard
                   D
It may rise in the sun

[Verse 2]
D               F              D
And I make sure before I fall asleep
                              G
To think about all the things that make me
              Em                        D  F
Feel good and what makes me feel right
D             G
Like a melody sung by a man
     Em                      D  F
that has seen a thing or two
D
  And it keeps me wondering
G                 Em     D   F D G 
What it is that I   am to do

What saves you  might not save my soul
A
But that does not mean I will not find my rest
G         A         G          D
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
        A
Just as soon spit me right out of your breath

[Verse 3]
A
I don't mind if I have to wait around
                 G 
In the emptiness of this world
   Em                       D  F
Of all suffering and hunger 
D                G            Em               D
  And it's where I have been searching for a ghost
                              G           Em            D  F
And I feel I got anything and I use it to real to roll

D                           G              Em
  Things seem so unreal but I've been here all along

What saves you  might not save my soul
A
But that does not mean I will not find my rest
G         A         G          D
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
        A
Just as soon spit me right out of your breath

[Bridge]
N.C.
My mother knows love and my mother knows pain.
N.C.
There are are reasons without reasons for her loss
N.C.
Many of us have been living so afraid
                                A
Surrender right in front of everyone

[Outro]
D
I know what you're thinking, everything that keeps you breathing
D
Or is it the hard day knows where it end.
D
There's always a beginning you are ready to believe in
D
Thought you're ready for the sunset Ahh haa haa haa (fade)
