[Verse 1]
DmI can see what scares you
AmI can see through every scar
EWhere there is no light in the pitch of the night, AmI'll find you
DmI won't leave you stranded
AmI've never left you alone
EWhen you see no light in the pitch of the night, AmI'm beside you
[Chorus]
CTwo ships Gpass in the night
AmOne gilded in gold, Gone slowed from the cold
CThen I see you Gcounting pinpoints of light
AmIn hopes that one might tear and Ggive sight behind
FThe curtain you fight and Eprove that you're right

Be the man I planted

Am F

My warrior in the sea

E Am F E

In your ocean, death devours but

Am F E

You can break its foaming teeth

You will not be abandoned

Dm F E

But I will not intercede

Am F E

You've gotta look past them, look past them

Am F E

Set your sight on me

But if you never turn and face me

Dm F E

You'll live adrift alone

Live your life in the night

Am F E

And die with my light sitting

Am F

Right beside you

I've been

Am F

Right beside you

I'm always

Am F E

Right beside you
