Key: D MajorD

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
D MajorD
Come by the fire, lay down your head

My love, I see you're growing tired

So set the bad day by the bed
      A augmentedA
And rest a while, your eyes can close
     B minorBm              G+G
You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing
          D MajorD
I know you miss the world, the one you knew

The one where everything made sense
                         A augmentedA
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works
                 B minorBm
'Til the bottom drops out and we learn
        G+G              G+G
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground

Chorus:
D MajorD                       F# minorF#m
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
                   B minorBm
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out
G+G    A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
                     F# minorF#m
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
              B minorBm     E MajorE
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
    Asus4Asus4   A augmentedA         D MajorD
We'll say we did not give up on love today

Verse 2:
Dsus4Dsus4     D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4
I'll show you good, restore your faith
      D MajorD        Dsus4Dsus4     D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4
Convince you, love, don't breathe it in
     B minorBm                G+G
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
       D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4   D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4
And it has no name, no guarantee
       D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4     D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4
It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4  A augmentedA      Asus4Asus4
But that's enough, if the bottom drops out
     B minorBm    G+G             G+G
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground


Chorus:
D MajorD                       F# minorF#m
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
                   B minorBm
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out
G+G    A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
                     F# minorF#m
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
              B minorBm     E MajorE
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
    Asus4Asus4   A augmentedA         D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4
We'll say we did not give up on love today
    G+G    A augmentedA         D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
We'll say we did not give up on love today
