♫ Bridge:
              G
So if you’re stumbling in the dark
         A
Run your hands against the walls
           Bm
Find every window, every door
           D/F#
Throw them open, throw them open
        G
In will flood a blinding light
            A
And it will chase away the night
            Bm
Even if you shield your eyes
       D/F#
Let it pour in, let it pour in
           G
If you’re stumbling in the dark
         A
Run your hands against the walls
           Bm
Find every window, every door
           D/F#
Throw them open, throw them open
        G
In will flood a blinding light
            A
And it will chase away the night
            Bm
Even if you shield your eyes
       D/F#
Let it pour in, let it pour in, let it pour in
