           A                                      D
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
                A                                              D
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown
                G              Bm            D A G
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
          G  A               G  D
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

                D        G        D
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
               D          G       A        Bm
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
 G         D     G A      G D
Watch me crumble over and over

              D        G          D
I have done wrong, so build your tower
 D                   G       A        Bm
But call me home and I will build a throne
     G       D        G A  G D
And wash my eyes out never again

Chorus:
D                     G
But love the one you hold
                  A
And I'll be your goal
               Bm
To have and to hold
                D
A lover of the light

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 by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up -- breathe in, breathe out

Chorus

And in the middle of the night
I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength
Of walls that I 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'd be yours if you'd be mine

Chorus - x2
