[Verse 1]
My love was as Ccruel as the Dmcities I Flived in
CEveryone Dmlooked worse in the Flight
There are so many Clines that I've Dmcrossed unforFgiven
I'll Ctell you the Dmtruth but never goodFbye
[Chorus 1]
CI don't wanna look at anything else now that I Gsaw you
DmI don't wanna think of anything else now that I Fthought of you
  CI've been sleeping so long in a 20-year Gdark night
And now I see Dmdaylight, I only see Fdaylight
[Verse 2]
The luck of the Cdraw only Dmdraws the unFlucky
And Cso I beDmcame the butt of the Fjoke
I wounded the Cgood and I Dmtrusted the Fwicked
CClearing the Dmair, I breathed in Fthe smoke
  CMaybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
  GMaybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town
   DmThrew out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now
  FIt's brighter now, now
[Chorus 2]
CI don't wanna look at anything else now that I Gsaw you
(I can never look away)
DmI don't wanna think of anything else now that I Fthought of you
(Things will never be the same)
  CI've been sleeping so long in a 20-year Gdark night
(Now I'm wide awake)
And now I see Dmdaylight (daylight), I only see Fdaylight (daylight)
I only see Cdaylight, daylight, daylight, daylGight
I only see Dmdaylight, daylight, daylight, daylFight
[Bridge]
  CAnd I can still see it all (in my mGind)
All of you, all of me (intertwDmined)
I once believed love would be (black and whFite), but it's golden (golden)
  CAnd I can still see it all (in my hGead)
Back and forth from New York (sneaking in your Dmbed)
I once believed love would be (burning rFed), but it's golden
Like Cdaylight, like daylGight
Like Dmdaylight, Fdaylight
[Chorus 3]
CI don't wanna look at anything else now that I Gsaw you
(I can never look away)
And DmI don't wanna think of anything else now that I Fthought of you
(Things will never be the same)
  CI've been sleeping so long in a 20-year Gdark night
(Now I'm wide awake)
And now I see Dmdaylight (I see daylight), I only see Fdaylight (ah-ah ah-ah)
I only see Cdaylight, daylight, daylight, daylGight
I only see Dmdaylight, daylight, daylight, daylFight (ah ah-ah ah-ahh)
I only see Cdaylight, daylight, daylight, daylGight

[Verse 1]

C Dm F

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in

C Dm F

Everyone looked worse in the light

C Dm F

There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven

C Dm F

I'll tell you the truth but never goodbye

[Chorus 1]

C G

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

Dm F

I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

C G

I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night

Dm F

And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

[Verse 2]

C Dm F

The luck of the draw only draws the unlucky

C Dm F

And so I became the butt of the joke

C Dm F

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked

C Dm F

Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke

Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down

Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town

Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now

It's brighter now, now

[Chorus 2]

C G

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

(I can never look away)

Dm F

I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

(Things will never be the same)

C G

I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night

(Now I'm wide awake)

Dm F

And now I see daylight (daylight), I only see daylight (daylight)

C G

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

Dm F

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

[Bridge]

C G

And I can still see it all (in my mind)

All of you, all of me (intertwined)

I once believed love would be (black and white), but it's golden (golden)

C G

And I can still see it all (in my head)

Back and forth from New York (sneaking in your bed)

I once believed love would be (burning red), but it's golden

C G

Like daylight, like daylight

Dm F

Like daylight, daylight

[Chorus 3]

C G

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

(I can never look away)

Dm F

And I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

(Things will never be the same)

C G

I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night

(Now I'm wide awake)

Dm F

And now I see daylight (I see daylight), I only see daylight (ah-ah ah-ah)

C G

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

Dm F

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight (ah ah-ah ah-ahh)

C G

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

Dm F

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight (ah ah-ah ah-ahh)

[Outro]

C G Dm F

Like daylight, it's golden like daylight

C G

You gotta step into the daylight and let it go

Dm F

Just let it go, let it go

C G Dm

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of

Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

I, I just think that

You are what you love

C G Dm F
