1]\r\n[tab]                       [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe very day you were born, your light shone bold in dark[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]Em[/ch] \r\nThe doctor said you had a hole in your heart[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nJust knew you were making room for a whole lot of heart[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]                            \r\nAnd loved you from that day until your soul would depart[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nYou took your first breath upon my chest[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI built you a good nest before I left[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIt wasn't that I never loved your mother[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch]                                             [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBut two happy homes are better than one that suffered[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nEvery regret in this life that I've made[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                   [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nHave been tempered by the strength in your eyes everyday[/tab]\r\n                                             \r\nI know you never said that you'd like me to stay\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]                                         \r\nStill I'm sorry I neglected you while I was away[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nYou were eight when we headed to casualty[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd no child should face their death or mortality[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nYou taught me patience, strength and morality[/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd I'd burden this weight instead of you happily[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nThat night, you asked would you die from your sickness?[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd why had it chosen your life out of millions[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nYou filled me with a pride I was missing[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nCause grown men cry they lack your type of resilience[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nOnly when it's dark are the stars so bright[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nFor your fight you're gonna harbour these scars for life[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut you a brave little soul, came in the cold[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nLike a fighter hope you find that same flame when you're old[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFall asleep[/tab]\r\n[tab]             [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd lay with me[/tab]\r\n[tab]                   [ch]G[/ch]                  [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWe'll search the night for shooting stars[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Am[/ch] \r\nIf they can't take[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]C[/ch]       \r\nAway your pain[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]Em[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI'll take your hand, walk through the dark[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe dark[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nThrough the dark[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Am[/ch]                          \r\nI wrote this while you slept in a hospital bed[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch] \r\nKnow this, your breath at the cost of my breath[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI'd forego this life, let you honour my death[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nIf you could know what it's like to live long and regret[/tab]\r\n[tab]             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo you can fight you can shove you can bleed and hurt[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]A[/ch]\r\nSo you can cry you can love learn your creed or worth[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nEarn your stripes, act dumb, cut your teeth or worse[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]G[/ch]\r\nOr take a wife to become your sky, sea and earth[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBut if these are things that you never see[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWith no god, just me here to set you free[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd most others won't understand the hell in which you've been in[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nUntil they've wrestled with a demon[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTake heart, to be brave we first need fear[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThat same heart that's seen pain yet persevered[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWill serve you, I know this world is of course unfair[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Em[/ch]               \r\nAnd you hurt, but these virtues are yours to bare[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI named you Lion Hearted the day you're born[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThey say the night is darkest before the dawn[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch]                                             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI'll take your hand upon this path if you can light a spark[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                  [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThen we can find some calm in a raging storm[/tab]\r\n          \r\nAin't nothing left to scare you see\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSo we can live, laugh and cherish every breath we breathe[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd no matter where you go know I'll never leave[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch]                                                      [ch]Am[/ch]           \r\nCause even when we're gone we're living in a memory, so live on[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFall asleep[/tab]\r\n[tab]             [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd lay with me[/tab]\r\n[tab]                   [ch]G[/ch]

skies[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nI say your name you cast a light[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nYou're a flame on a starless night[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd I didn't know I was lost till you found me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nDidn't know I was locked here without keys[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut we can walk across all these boundaries[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nYou and me nothing here to stop you you're now free[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nSo I wrote this to give you hope[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nFor every good thing in life you'll live to know[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]
