[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
C
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
G
Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town
Dm
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now
F
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)
Dm
All of you, all of me (intertwined)
F
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)
Dm
Back and forth from New York (sneaking in your bed)
F
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
F
Not the things I hate
C
Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
G
Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
Dm
I, I just think that
F
You are what you love
C G Dm F
C G
