Verse 1:
    C                         Em              Am
The dark is always coldest before dawn as the day is slowly drawn
   C                  Em             Am   F
Sunlight and daybreak expose all the wrongs
         C        Em             Am
From the night before, we wanted so much more...
 C                  Em       Am
Now all we crave is rest and retreat

Chorus:
       Dm         G            Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
  Dm                   G                   Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
       Dm         G       Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
    Dm                   G          C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

Verse 2:
 C                             Em           Am
Loss is always hardest at the start as it breaks the heart
    C                  Em        Am
And severs the ties of what once was
      C    Em        Am              F
As we move on and realize what's now gone
 C           Em                      Am
Learn to celebrate the times we once had

Chorus:
       Dm         G            Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
  Dm                   G                   Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
       Dm         G       Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
    Dm                   G          C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

Bridge:
F            Am
Do you ever stop and think how come?
F             Am                   G
Have you ever wondered why we're so numb?
F                 Am
Though it may not matter in the end
F                     Am          G               C
I just can't help but ask will we ascend the weak end?

Instrumental:

Chorus:
        Dm         G            Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
  Dm                   G                   Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
       Dm         G       Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
    Dm                   G                C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate
