D/F#

Capo 5th fret

Life goes black and silent,

Like the night that fills the air

Searching for a reason,

D/F# Em

Like you never had a prayer.

C Am

Its funny all those things you took for granted all along,

And now they’re gone.

CHORUS

C G

But it keeps you, reaching out for things so far away,

C G

Yeah it keeps you, holding out, holding on,

D/F# Em C

Till’ another day comes, till’ another day comes

You gotta live through today

All those hopeless questions

When your dreams are all but gone

The hardest part was knowing

D/F# Em

That you knew the answers all along

C Am

Sometimes when you finally see the light,

It’s black and white.

CHORUS
