E
Day and night, black and white
You take it all for granted
I'm the one who turns you on
When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
I'm the one who's holding on
A
It's alright to be wrong
E
All we need's a little time
But nothing here can last that long

Chorus:
D            A                 E
We show the world a brand new face
              D
It's taken us all this time
All this time
             A
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out

Yesterday you lost your way
Still looking for an answer
I'm the one who holds the key
When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
I'll unlock this mystery

Chorus - x2

Day and night, black and white
Take it all for granted
(We get to work it out)
I'm the one who turns you on
Turns you on, turns you on
(All of this doubt)

When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
(We get to work it out)
I'm the one who's holding on
Holding on, holding on
