[Verse 1]

You are the hole in my head,

you are the space in my bed.

You are the silence in between,

what I thought and what I said

You are the night time fear,

you are the morning when it's clear.

When it's over your start,

you're my head and you're my heart.

[Chorus]

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,

I never knew daylight could be so violent.

A revelation in the light of day,

you can't choose what stays and what fades away.

Dm F

And I'll do anything to make you stay,

no light, no light.

Tell me what you want me to say.

[Verse 2]

Dm F

And through the crowd I was crying out,

C G

and in your place there were a thousand other faces.

Dm F

I was disappearing in plain sight,

C G

heaven help me I need to make it right.

[Pre-Chorus]

You wanna revelation, you wanna get it right.

But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight.

You wanna a revelation, some kinda resolution,

you wanna revelation.

[Chorus]

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,

I never knew daylight could be so violent.

A revelation in the light of day,

you can't choose what stays and what fades away.

Dm F

And I'll do anything to make you stay,

no light, no light.

Tell me what you want me to say.

[Bridge]

Dm F

Would you leave me if I told you what I've done?

C G

And would you leave me if I told you what I've become?

Dm F

Cause it's so easy to say it to a crowd,

C G Dm G

but it's so hard, my love, to say it to you out loud

[Chorus]

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,

I never knew daylight could be so violent.

A revelation in the light of day,

you can't choose what stays and what fades away.

Dm F

And I'll do anything to make you stay,

no light, no light.

Tell me what you want me to say.

[Outro]

You wanna revelation, you wanna get it right.

But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight.

You wanna a revelation, some kinda resolution,

you wanna revelation.

You wanna revelation, you wanna get it right.

But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight.

You wanna a revelation, some kinda resolution,

tell me what you want me to say.
