[Verse 1]
EmWhen everything was broken,
The DDevil hit his second stride.
But you Bmremember what I told ya,
Someday I’ll Cneed your spine to hide behind.
For Emfear of moments stolen.
I Ddon’t wanna say goodnight.
But I’ll still Bmsee you in the morning.
Still know your Cheart and still know both your eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
I could’ve told you ‘bout the Emlong nights.
How no one loves the birds that Ddon’t rise.
So you can tell the heroeBms go hide.
My sense of Cwonder’s just a little tired
[Chorus]
DBut if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyeCs
CYou'd see you shine, you shine
DI know Emyou'd never leave me behindC  
CBut I am lost this time
DAre we destined to bEmurn, or will we last the nighCt?
CI will hold you 'til I hold you right
DBut if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyCes
CYou'd see you shine, you shinEme
[Solo]
D Bm C
[Verse 2]
So we'll Emrun into the open,
DKeep your hand inside of mine
And then when Bmeverything is over
I hope to Cthink of this as better times
The Emsky got red and swollen
I Dguess I never see the signs
There can't be Bmsongs for every soldier
There can't be Csolace every time you cry
[Pre-Chorus]
I could’ve told you ‘bout the Emlong nights.
How no one loves the birds that Ddon’t rise.
So you can tell the heroeBms go hide.
My sense of Cwonder’s just a little tired
[Chorus]
DBut if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyeCs
CYou'd see you shine, you shine
DI Emknow you'd never leave me behinCd
CBut I am lost this time
DAre we destined to bEmurn, or will we last the nighCt?
CI will hold you 'til I hold you right
DBut if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyCes
CYou'd see you shine, you shinGe
[Post-Chorus]
I was Dlost 'til I Cfound you
GNow these Dsongs will hold and hide your Cname
All at Gonce was Dall aboCut you
GSince that Dnight the moon has never seemed the Csame
[Chorus]
DBut if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyeCs
CYou'd see you shine, you shine
DI Emknow you'd never leave me behinCd
CBut I am lost this time
DWhat if the love you dEmeserve is love you never find?
CI’ve learned in love and death we don't decideD  
But if only Emyou could see yourself in my eyeCs
You'd see you shine, you shinEme
[Outro]
D Bm C
