verse
Am G C
i , i can’t promise you that i won’t let you down
Am
and i ,
G C
i can’t promise you that i will be the only one around
G C
when your hope falls down
but we’re young
open flowers in the windy fields of this war – torn world
and love
this city breathes the plague of loving things more than their creators

i ran away
i could not take the burden of both me and you
it was too fast
casting love on me as if it were a spell i could not break
when it was a promise i could not make
Em C G
but what if i was wrong? 3

but hold on to what you believe in the light
Am G C G let ring out
when the darkness has robbed you of all your sight

and now this land
means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees
at every turn
the water runs away from me and the halo disappears
and the hole when you’re not near
so what if i was wrong?
but hold on to what you believe in the light
when the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
so hold on to what you believed in the light
hold on to what you what you believe
