When you Gclose your eyes there’s a Dfrightened Empride that Clives for GyouAm  C  
That your Ammothers Dlife and your Amfather’s Ceyes can’t Dhide.C  D  
You Ghad no choice didn’t Dask the Emdice to Cfall for GyouAm  C  
Still your Amcourage Dcomes like Amthunder Cthrough the Dskies
Chorus:
   CYou’re alwDays the win G- DnerC, the victor and the GgiveDr
   CSomewhere through that Emwin - Dter,    Amyou’ll never be aDloneC  
   For Devermore the Emwin - DnerC,  the taker and the GgiverD  C  
   Somewhere through that Emwin - Dter,    Amyou will not grow GoldG.
So you Gcarry time down the Dtortured Emline where Cmysteries GshowAm  C  
Well Amhidden Dfrom lifes Amlearned Cand life’s DwiseC  D  
Man’s Guseless ways and Dworthless EmconverCsatioGnsAm  C  
Lie Amwell expDosed and Amhumbled Cin your Dsmile
Chorus:
   CYou’re alwDays the win G- ner, Dthe Cvictor and the GgiveDr
   CSomewhere through that Emwin - Dter,    Amyou’ll never be aDloneC  
   For Devermore the Emwin - DnerC,  the taker and the GgiverD  C  
   Somewhere through that Emwin - Dter,    Amyou will not grow GoldG.
Still you Crun out in the morning, with the Gboys and girls
A Cmiracle of innocence on Ga head of curls
We’ll Csearch every reason wherHmever we roam
(To) Amfind a place for these broken Dhearts and bones
We’ll keep a Cfire on the Ghillside, after the Emsummer’s Cgone
And we’ll Amwait her til the Cwar-woDunded come Ghome.
