[Intro]
Am G D

AmOne light fades
Let another Gshine its place
It's just the moving of Dcolour
My Amhands don't play the same
But they'll Gtry anyway
Each accusing the Dother
You can do what you Amwant
But I'm making my Gown way Din
Either you will or you Amwon't
You'll only knGow
If you count yourself Din
[Chorus]
If Amdaylight breaks and you're still Gmiles away
You should move into Dcover
AmI'll try to stay in a more Gpermanent way
Can we keep to Deach other?
[Verse 2]
Where have you Ambeen all this Gtime?G  D  Am  D  
Would you Ggive one more Dday if you're Amable I've GwondeDred
Before they Gclear
One more Dplace at the Amtable I've GwondeDred
A penny Amfor Gyour Dthoughts
So many Amfall Gbefore they meet the Dshore
[Bridge]

If Amdaylight breaks and you're still Gmiles away
You should move into Dcover

[Intro]

Am G D

[Verse 1]

One light fades

Let another shine its place

It's just the moving of colour

My hands don't play the same

But they'll try anyway

Each accusing the other

You can do what you want

G D

But I'm making my own way in

Either you will or you won't

You'll only know

If you count yourself in

[Chorus]

Am G

If daylight breaks and you're still miles away

You should move into cover

Am G

I'll try to stay in a more permanent way

Can we keep to each other?

[Verse 2]

Am G G D Am D

Where have you been all this time?

G D Am G D

Would you give one more day if you're able I've wondered

Before they clear

D Am G D

One more place at the table I've wondered

Am G D

A penny for your thoughts

Am G D

So many fall before they meet the shore

[Bridge]

Am G D

Woah

Am G D

Woah

Am G D

Woah

[Chorus]

Am G

If daylight breaks and you're still miles away

You should move into cover

Am G

I'll try and stay in a more permanent way

Can we keep to each other?

[Outro]

You can do what you want

G D

But I'm making my own way in
