we carried all the colors ,
Bm G
from the portrait of our summer .
D A
we never felt the answers ,
Bm G
weighing down our shoulders .

time goes fast when you wander ,
Bm G
and nothing lasts forever .

but i still feel the power ,
Bm G F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
of you and me together ,
A ( or A5 ) F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
and light that surrounds you .

i know i’m the lucky one ,
Bm G
’though i’m always the last to believe .

i know i’m the lucky one ,
Bm G
’cause i’m here , and you’re with me .

xd A
so tell me are you willing ,
Bm G
to try this thing called living .
D A
’cause there’s so many edges hidden ,
Bm G
it’s so hard to be forgiving .

D A
but i’ll try once if you ask me ,
Bm G
and once again everlasting .
D A
for all my days i’ll love you ,
Bm G F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
and all the stars you run through ,
A ( or A5 ) F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
see the light surround you . . .

Dm A#
when the wrongs and the rights all’ve been pushed aside ,
you’re my favorite color .
Dm A#
you’re the black to the white and the warmth inside ,
A
you’re the sun i’m under .

D A
i volunteer to watch you ,
Bm G
through the dreams that haunt you .
D A
i promise , to wake you ,
Bm G F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
before the fear takes you .

A ( or A5 ) F#m ( or F#5 ) > G ( or G5 ) > A ( or A5 )
may the light surround you
( may the light surround you )

’though it took so long to see .

Bm G
’cause i’m here , and you’re with me .
