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

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


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

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


Ending:
                F#m  C#m  Bm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F#m  C#m  Bm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F#m  C#m  Bm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F#m  C#m  Bm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F#m  C#m  Bm
Together we'll fight the long defeat
                F#m  C#m  Bm
