It was a Emcold night in the factory alone
When the Dwolves knocked on my G/Bdoor
There was a Emsea of light running out of my eyes
I was forced to fight, DI was forced to G/Bgrow
And so the Emnights went with summer Ghearts for the Clove we share
And tired Emeyes were the only Gthing we had G/Bleft to show
GClose your eyes Emily Cand I’ll be with you
GClose your eyes Emily G/Band I’ll be with you
I am Emon your side when your heart is falling Gthrough
I am G/Bjust outside I’ve been dancing with the Gwolves
But it was Charder to keep it when you were running with the EmhorsesD  G/B  
I am the Emonly truth in all of your lies
But I’m the Dhardest one to beG/Blieve
There was a Emflash of light running over our heads
In the distance she was stood on Dstones that I won’t G/Btread
And so the Emnights went with summer Ghearts for the G/Blove we share
And tired Emeyes were the only Gthing we had G/Bleft to show
GClose your eyes Emily G/Band I’ll be with you
GClose your eyes Emily G/Band I’ll be with you
I am Emon your side when your heart is falling Gthrough
I am Cjust outside I’ve been dancing with thGe wolves
                                                           G/B(Em        D   G/Bx2)   
But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses

When the wolves knocked on my door

There was a sea of light running out of my eyes

D G/B

I was forced to fight, I was forced to grow

And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show

Close your eyes Emily and I’ll be with you

But it was harder to keep it when you were running with the horses

I am the only truth in all of your lies

But I’m the hardest one to believe

There was a flash of light running over our heads

D G/B

In the distance she was stood on stones that I won’t tread

And so the nights went with summer hearts for the love we share

Em G G/B

And tired eyes were the only thing we had left to show
