[VERSE 1] :
CCast away tAmhe shadows of youEmr heart
CIf you're aAmlways aiming for Ema better part
CIn this plaAmy that punctuates Emyour life, your goals
Am7You think you know, youCsus4're down below
CAnd you’ve Amkept your distancEmes from me
CCarried on Amwith all your feaEmrs that set you free
CBut at nighAmt you change into Emthe darkest swan
Am7With all its fears, youCsus4’ve come undone
[CHORUS]:
CAnd I don't know Amif you've been hurt beGfore
CAnd all the scars Amyour bare are from a Gprevious war
CBut if it's fear Amof love that keeps you Gout of open arms
CThen I will leave Amthe lights on any traGil to come
Am7And you will find Csus4your way in any given Gstorm
[VERSE 2] :
CI remember Amwalking you to heEmll
CWhen you asAmked the man for oEmne last mission bell
CAnd I folloAmwed until the darEmkness came
Am7I felt so lost, you were Csus4my cause
CSo I'll ask Amagain and againEm  
CWhy the couAmrage left when yoEmu numbed the pain
CWas I ever Ampart of what you Emcalled your plan
Am7I felt so lost that I left your cCsus4ause 
(Repeat [Chorus])

(Coeur de Pirate)

(Capo 1)

[VERSE 1] :

C Am Em

Cast away the shadows of your heart

C Am Em

If you're always aiming for a better part

C Am Em

In this play that punctuates your life, your goals

Am7 Csus4

You think you know, you're down below

C Am Em

And you’ve kept your distances from me

C Am Em

Carried on with all your fears that set you free

C Am Em

But at night you change into the darkest swan

Am7 Csus4

With all its fears, you’ve come undone

[CHORUS]:

C Am G

And I don't know if you've been hurt before

C Am G

And all the scars your bare are from a previous war

C Am G

But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

C Am G

Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

Am7 Csus4 G

And you will find your way in any given storm

[VERSE 2] :

C Am Em

I remember walking you to hell

C Am Em

When you asked the man for one last mission bell

C Am Em

And I followed until the darkness came

Am7 Csus4

I felt so lost, you were my cause

C Am Em

So I'll ask again and again

C Am Em

Why the courage left when you numbed the pain

C Am Em

Was I ever part of what you called your plan

Am7 Csus4

I felt so lost that I left your cause

(Repeat [Chorus])
