VERSE 1:
G D2
You woke the morning up
Am7
Running off my darkest night

The longest light I've seen
G D2
Here goes a chance I know

Cashing in on all my chips
Esus4
Let all my ships come fly
PRECHORUS 1:
Cmaj7 Em D
These days, a little bit longer than the last
Cmaj7 Em D
And all of these ways, a little bit stronger than the past

And your light, found my bottle in the night

Gave me second life, kept me in this fight
CHORUS:
G2 D2
And I won't back down

Rattling through my smoking screens
Esus4
My broken dreams last night
PRECHORUS 2:
Cmaj7 Em D
These days, a little bit longer than the last
Cmaj7 Em D
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
