[Verse]
G C G
You are the first thing I see
G C G Em
When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream
G C G
You're the light through a rip in the seams
G C G Em
Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams
[Chorus]
Am C
But with the morning sun we also see
Am C
Blurry shapes appear so gradually
Am C
I'm so afraid to feel this way again
G
But I let you in
[Verse]
G C G
Love is the loudest of sounds
G C G Em
It's the hymn in the air, it's the dirge from the ground
G C G
You've got a hold over me
G C G Em
Until my world disappears and you're all I see
[Chorus]
Am C
But in solitude we're often chased
Am C
By the truths we are afraid to face
Am C
And it takes more than just a fleeting dream
G
To set us free
[Verse]
Am C
Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone
Am C
Just to watch how long that it could go
Am C
I'm so afraid to fall in love again
G
I know how it ends
[Outro]
G C G
G C G Em
G C G
G C G Em
And if I try and skip a sinking stone
Maybe it'll be the one that goes
Forever as it starts its flight
Towards the horizon line
G C G
You are the first thing I see
G C G Em
When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream
G C G
You're the light through a rip in the seams
G C G Em
Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams
[Chorus]
Am C
But with the morning sun we also see
Am C
Blurry shapes appear so gradually
Am C
I'm so afraid to feel this way again
G
But I let you in
