C
There's lights that line these halls
That beckon us to stay
A glimmer in the distance
That gathers all the stray
And when I need it most
It breaks into a song
That runs through all my veins
And helps me to hold on

It was a long night
C   Dm   Am
We ran along into the spotlight
C    Dm     Am                           C
You sang a song that made the children cry
    Dm       Am             C  Dm Am
And all the people knew my name

It was a bright light
C     Dm       Am
These lands combine into a great big mass
C   Dm    Am
We sang along to the very last
C  Dm     Am           C   Dm Am
Oh, the jury stole my fame

                         F
And then we grabbed the sun
                     G
And it shined into these eyes
Believe me

Chorus:
Am        F
Cover up, rain down
C
We wept on the edge of this town
Am                   F              C
It's all I want it's all we want tonight
I feel it
Am        F
Cover up, rain down
C
We wept on the edge of this town
     Am              F              C
It's all I want it's all we want tonight

Oh, you look so alive
Di-d-d-did you think that we'd cry tonight?
Oh, did you think we'd cry?
Oh, can you feel my heart?
I think I feel it, too
Di-d-d-did you think that we'd die tonight?
Oh, did you think we'd die?

And then we grabbed the sun
And it shined into these eyes
Believe me

Chorus

 G
Take my love, take it to the valley
           F
where the golden dove
                                  G
Flies it to the places where the silence screams
                                  F
Fills it with the noises of our cluttered dreams


Chorus
