Through The Dark chords by Hilltop Hoods

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
            A augmentedA
The very day you were born, your light shone bold in dark
   E minorEm
The doctor said you had a hole in your heart
 G+G
Just knew you were making room for a whole lot of heart
 D MajorD
And loved you from that day until your soul would depart
 A minorAm
You took your first breath upon my chest
 C majorC
I built you a good nest before I left
 G+G
It wasn't that I never loved your mother
 A augmentedA                       E minorEm
But two happy homes are better than one that suffered
                   G+G
Every regret in this life that I've made
                          A augmentedA
Have been tempered by the strength in your eyes everyday
                       E minorEm
I know you never said that you'd like me to stay
                       G+G
Still I'm sorry I neglected you while I was away

You were eight when we headed to casualty
A minorAm
And no child should face their death or mortality
C majorC
You taught me patience, strength and morality
     E minorEm
And I'd burden this weight instead of you happily
A augmentedA
That night, you asked would you die from your sickness?
   E minorEm
And why had it chosen your life out of millions
A minorAm
You filled me with a pride I was missing
C majorC
Cause grown men cry they lack your type of resilience
A augmentedA
Only when it's dark are the stars so bright
E minorEm
For your fight you're gonna harbour these scars for life
      G+G
But you a brave little soul, came in the cold
A augmentedA
Like a fighter hope you find that same flame when you're old

Chorus:
A minorAm   C majorC
Fall asleep
       E minorEm
And lay with me
          G+G         A augmentedA
We'll search the night for shooting stars
     A minorAm
If they can't take
      C majorC
Away your pain
        E minorEm           G+G
I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
D MajorD
The dark
A augmentedA
Through the dark

Verse 2:
     A minorAm
I wrote this while you slept in a hospital bed
   C majorC
Know this, your breath at the cost of my breath
   A augmentedA
I'd forego this life, let you honour my death
     E minorEm
If you could know what it's like to live long and regret
       G+G
So you can fight you can shove you can bleed and hurt
      A augmentedA
So you can cry you can love learn your creed or worth
      E minorEm
Earn your stripes, act dumb, cut your teeth or worse
      G+G
Or take a wife to become your sky, sea and earth
   D MajorD
But if these are things that you never see
   A minorAm
With no god, just me here to set you free
      C majorC
And most others won't understand the hell in which you've been in
 G+G
Until they've wrestled with a demon
    A augmentedA
Take heart, to be brave we first need fear
      A minorAm
That same heart that's seen pain yet persevered
        C majorC
Will serve you, I know this world is of course unfair
     E minorEm
And you hurt, but these virtues are yours to bare
  A augmentedA
I named you Lion Hearted the day you're born
 G+G
They say the night is darkest before the dawn
 E minorEm                       G+G
I'll take your hand upon this path if you can light a spark
                    D MajorD
Then we can find some calm in a raging storm

Ain't nothing left to scare you see
 A minorAm
So we can live, laugh and cherish every breath we breathe
 C majorC
And no matter where you go know I'll never leave
 E minorEm                      A augmentedA
Cause even when we're gone we're living in a memory, so live on

Chorus:
A minorAm   C majorC
Fall asleep
       E minorEm
And lay with me
          G+G         A augmentedA
We'll search the night for shooting stars
     A minorAm
If they can't take
      C majorC
Away your pain
        E minorEm           G+G
I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
D MajorD
The dark
A augmentedA
Through the dark

Verse 3:
              A minorAm
And I'm sorry that I can't take your pain or answer why
C majorC
We'll lay awake through darker skies
G+G
I say your name you cast a light
A augmentedA
You're a flame on a starless night
A minorAm
And I didn't know I was lost till you found me
C majorC
Didn't know I was locked here without keys
G+G
But we can walk across all these boundaries
A augmentedA
You and me nothing here to stop you you're now free
E minorEm
So I wrote this to give you hope
D MajorD
For every good thing in life you'll live to know
A minorAm                C majorC
They say cancers survivors are gifted though
    G+G         A augmentedA
