Runrig - This Beautiful Pain

capo 3rd fret

intro : G D C G

G D C
day was young and desire was stirred
G D C
summer was all but gone
G D C
light was fading from the side of your face
G D C
sinking low in the corn

Em
all thats constant and wise
C
i still see in your eyes
G D C
it was always this way from the start
Em
right here where i stand
C
on the last of the land
D C G
but you’re still breaking the heart

G D C
now all i have is rushing right through my hands
G D C
sailing over the seas
G D C
down that tide where fresh and salt combine
G D C
all victories are released
Em
we who wrestle the years
C
have traded our fears
G D C
for a glimpse of ecstasy in the dark
Em
turning ice in the fire
C
but were still denied
D C G
but youre still breaking the heart

Em C
the skies turn red without failure
G D Em
they held their promise and dread till the last
D Em
you put all of my youth in my future
G D
you put my future back into my past

G D C
so shine a light and shine it brightly now
G D C
you know it all takes its course
G D C
and all the many ways ive tried so hard
G D C
to reach this potent source
Em
on the day behind time
C
across the divide
G D Em
along the cord came all light out of dark
C Em
now i stand amaze in this beautiful pain
D C G
but youre still breaking the heart
