       D#maj7     Gm Fm
I'm no white dove
      C#6            D#maj7     Gm Fm
But I stand here with all my love
  C#6       D#maj7 Gm Fm
Uncover the windows
C#6        D#maj7 Gm Fm
Let in the light
C#6                D#maj7
Grab the hand that's reaching out
Gm     Fm        C#6            D#maj7
They shout to an empty room when no one's
                         Gm Fm
there to hear their prayers
    C#6   D#maj7 Gm Fm
But you and I
C#6   D#maj7 Gm Fm C#6
You and I

On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat
On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat

Chorus:
D#maj7 C#maj7 Cmaj7
I'm lookin' in
G#               F9
I'm thinkin' out loud
D#maj7 C#maj7 Cmaj7 Fm A# D#maj7
Now that I've seen
  C#maj7 Cmaj7   G#     F9
I used to hide from my own mind
    D#maj7 C#maj7 Cmaj7 Fm A#
This battle's not mine

The building a motor on houses of paper
This world can cater for us all
The building a motor on houses of paper
This world can cater for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all

Chorus:
I'm lookin' in
I'm thinkin' out loud
Now that I've seen
I used to hide from my own mind
This battle's mine
