Verse 1:
   D MajorD
The tyranny of deterioration
                     F# minorF#m
Worries me that it's all just a waste of time
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Taking one step forward, two steps back
   D MajorD
Still I believe there's a breath through the thorns
  D MajorD
And I believe there's somewhere that's warm
  F# minorF#m         A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I believe that it's ever bright beyond this black

Chorus:
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm
So keep holding on to hope without assurance
F# minorF#m       B minorBm    F# minorF#m
Holding on to a memory of light
       A/C#A/C#       B minorBm
But will the morning come? For all I know
      A/C#A/C#        B minorBm      F# minorF#m
We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat


Verse 2:
 D MajorD
Suffering that I see all around
   D MajorD
It's enough to keep me crashing down
   F# minorF#m    A augmentedA          E MajorE
Till I, I lay wrecked and reeling from these falls
   D MajorD
Still I believe there's a word in the wire
  D MajorD
And I believe there's a way through the fire
  F# minorF#m          A augmentedA         E MajorE
And I, believe, there's a joy that blooms beyond these walls

Chorus:
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm
So keep holding on to hope without assurance
F# minorF#m       B minorBm    F# minorF#m
Holding on to a memory of light
       A/C#A/C#       B minorBm
But will the morning come? For all I know
      A/C#A/C#        B minorBm      F# minorF#m
We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat


Ending:
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m  B minorBm
