Intro:
C  G  Am
Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F


Verse 1:
  C                  G          Am
There's a rhythm in rush these days
     Am                        G            F
The lights don't move and the colors don't fade
 C                     G            Am
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
      Am                       G          F
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean

 C                     G          Am
There's some things a man cannot know
     Am                       G             F
The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
         C                    G    Am
There's no place to run and no gasoline
    Am                          G          F
The Engine won't turn and the train won't leave
    Am                          G          F
The Engine won't turn and the train won't leave


Chorus:
    C        G       Am     F
But I will stay with you tonight
 G                       Am      F
Hold you close 'til the morning light
    C                       G       Am       F
And in the morning watch a new day rise
      Am                  G      F
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
      Am                  G      F
We'll do whatever just to stay alive


Verse 2:
          C                 G      Am
Well the way I feel is the way I write
   Am                              G       F
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
     C                       G       Am
But we've got truth and it's on our side
Am              G         F
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Am                 G         F
Oh dawn is coming, open your eyes


Chorus:
    C        G       Am     F
But I will stay with you tonight
 G                       Am      F
Hold you close 'til the morning light
C                                G       Am
But we've got the truth and it's on our side
Am              G         F
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Am                 G             F
Oh dawn is coming, open your eyes

Outro:

There's a rhythm in rush these days
     Am                        G            F
The lights don't move and the colors don't fade
 C                     G           Am
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
      Am                       G          F
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean

Dawn is coming, open your eyes
