come tumbling down

F# E
we were born with our eyes wide open
F# E
so alive with wild hope now
F#
can you tell me why
A B
time after time they drag you down
A B
down in the darkest deep
A G#
fools in their madness all around
A E
know that the light don’t sleep

step into the silence
take it in your own
two hands
and scatter it like diamonds
all across these lands
blaze it in the morning
wear it like an iron skin
only things worth living for are
innocence and magic , amen

we were born with our eyes wide open
so alive with wild hope now
can you tell me why
time after time they drag you down
down in the darkest deep
fools in their madness all around
know that the light don’t sleep

we were born with our eyes wide open
so alive with wild hope now
can you tell me why
time after time they drag you down
down in the talk so cheap
fools in their madness all around
know that the light don’t sleep

time after time
they drag you down
down in the darkness deep
fools in their madness all around
know that the light don’t sleep
know that the light don’t sleep

time after time
they drag you down
down in the darkness deep
fools in their madness all around
know that the light don’t sleep
know that the light don’t sleep
