intro : E A E B

E A
it took his breath away , holding the bank page
E B
he got the letter they’re gonna take their house away
E A
i’m bout to have a daughter , he yells it in the air
E A
feeling the weight of a world , that just don’t care

E A
he lit a cigarette , felt it on his lip
E B
driving home on a long road with regret
E A
he pulls the window down , shouts it out loud
E B
pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now
E A B
he’s looking for a reason , watching the sun coming down

E
can you hear when we call ,
A
there where we fall ,
E B
standing our backs against the wall ,
E A
top of our lungs , hallelujah ,
E B
where pain and love bleed into one

A E B
baby , when all you see is darkness ( coming down now )
A E B
we all need forgiveness ( coming round now )

E A B
woahoooh oh oh woahoooh oh oh ( coming down now )
E A B
woahoooh oh oh woahoooh oh oh

E A
it was monday night , under the street lights
E B
she was turning seventeen in seven nights
E A
out on fair grounds , walking in monotone
E B
she kicks a bottle as empty as her soul
E A
on the road alone , in a house that’s half home
E B
they give her pill just to kill when she feels alone
E A B
she’s looking for reason watching the sun coming down ,

E
can you hear when we call ,
A
there where we fall ,
E B
standing our backs against the wall ,
E A
top of our lungs , hallelujah ,
E B
where pain and love bleed into one

A E B
baby , when all you see is darkness ( coming down now )
A E B
we all need forgiveness ( coming round now )

E A
take these broken streets , take these broken dreams
E B
hold my my hand like we we’re walking free
E A
tell me it will change , i see it in your face
E A B
the hope , the fear , the love , the faith ,

E A
i’m working late again slaving to make the rent
E B
i’m slanging coffee with drams heavy as cement
E A
they’re coming one by one , the face of falling love
E B
i write a song with a prayer as i slide the cup ,

E
can you hear when we call ,
A
there where we fall ,
E B
standing our backs against the wall ,
E A
top of our lungs , hallelujah ,
E B
where pain and love bleed into one

A E B
baby , when all you see is darkness ( coming down now )
A E
we all need forgiveness

E
can you hear when we call ,
A
there where we fall ,
E B
standing our backs against the wall ,
E A
top of our lungs , how far we’ve come ,
E B
where pain and love bleed into one
E A
all that we need , its so bittersweet
E B
the pain that opens our eyes to see

A E B
baby , when all you see is darkness ( coming down now )
A E B
we all need forgiveness ( coming round now )

E A E B
woahoooh oh oh woahoooh oh oh ( coming down now )
E A E B
woahoooh oh oh woahoooh oh oh ( coming down now )
E A E B
woahoooh oh oh woahoooh oh oh ( coming round now )
