[Intro]
F  C  Dm  G  C  G
[Verse 1]
     C                F
Your eyes are burning low
       G                C
As you look out on this morning
    F         C/E    Dm
But your eyes will return
         G      C    G
To their former glory
[Verse 2]
           C                   F
Though the cold North wind may blow
G                  C
It's all sound and fury
        F      C/E    Dm
And the summer will return
        G      C
In it's former glory
[Chorus]
     F          G       C          Am
Everything will be just like you remember
  Dm                G         C
Today won't look as bad as it seemed
    F             G      C       Am
And though love's become a dying ember
Dm                         G
It will burn brighter than you ever dreamed
[Verse 3]
        C             F
For the day is coming soon
G                 C
You don't have to worry
F          C/E    Dm
Your light will return
        G      C     G
In it's former glory
[Instrumental]
C  F  G  C
F  C/E  Dm  G  C
[Chorus]
F          G       C               Am
Everything will be just like you remember
  Dm                G         C
Today won't look as bad as it seemed
    F             G      C       Am
And though love's become a dying ember
Dm                         G
It will burn brighter than you ever dreamed
[Verse 4]
        C             F
For the day is coming soon

Your light will return

In it's former glory

Your light will return
    F      C/E    Dm
The summer will return

Your hearts will rise again
