Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go

 There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown

 There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown

 But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

 Stretch out my life and pick the seams out

 Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes

 Watch me crumble over and over

I have done wrong, so build your tower

 But call me home and I will build a throne

 And wash my eyes out never again

Chorus

But love the one you hold

 And I'll be your goal

 To have and to hold

 A lover of the light

Verse

Skin too tight and eyes like marbles

You spin me high so watch me as I glide

Before I tumble homeward homeward

I know I've tried, I was not stable

Flawed my pride, I miss my sanguine eyes

 So hold my hands up, breathe in an' breathe out

Chorus

But love the one you hold

 And I'll be your goal

 To have and to hold

 A lover of the light

 And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go

 There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown

 There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown

You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show

 But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

Chorus

So love the one you hold

 And I will be your goal

 To have and to hold

 A lover of the light

So love the one you hold

 And I will be your goal

 To have and to hold

 A lover of the light
