[Chorus]
C#m E
You could run a thousand roads
A C#m B
And never end up nowhere
C#m B E
Pierce through your hands a thousand holes
A C#m B
And never know the cross you bear
[Verse]
A E B
Maybe I was born inside a shadow
A E B
I'm always starving for the light
A E C#m B A
The only roads I seem to follow
E B
Are the ones, leading to the night
[Chorus]
C#m E
You can dig a thousand graves
A C#m B
You're never gonna bury that ghost
C#m B E
Floats up from the ground and It calls your name
A C#m B
Hangs in your hair like a Jesus stone
[Verse]
A E B
Crashing down too far from heaven
A E B
Fell too short of a million things
A E C#m B A
Try to put the pieces back together
E B
It's what I get, flight on broken wings
[Interlude]

C#m E A B
[Chorus]
C#m E
Sick of dying in these nights
A C#m B
I wanna feel alive in the world
C#m B E
Wanna straighten out all my crooked lines
A C#m B
And then I'm gonna marry that girl
[Verse]
A E B
Cause I believe that love can save me
A E B
When it comes in quiet and it rises slow
A E C#m B A
Takes the depths out of the darkness
E B
So you don't have to fall that far alone
A E B
So you don't have to face it on your own
