[Verse]
  C         G                          C
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
 C               G                                  C
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown
                 F              Am           Am  G    F
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
         G    C             G  C
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

                C         F        C
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
               C          F       G        Am  
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
  F        C      G  C      G C            
Watch me stumble over and over 

C                      F          C
I had done wrong, you build your tower
 C                   F      G          Am 
But call me home and I will build a throne
    F        C        G  C  G C
And wash my eyes out never again


[Chorus]

C                       F 
But love the one you hold
                  G 
And I'll be your goal
                Am 
To have and to hold
                   C
A lover of the light


[Verse]

C                   F         C
Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
C                    F       G     Am
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
F         C       G C     G C 
Before I tumble homeward homeward

C                     F       C
I know I've tried, I was not stable
C                   F       G        Am
Flawed my pride, I miss my sanguine eyes
    F       C           G  C         G C
So hold my hands up, breathe in an' breathe out 


[Chorus]
  
C                     F
So love the one you hold
                  G
And I'll be your goal
                Am
To have and to hold
                C
A lover of the light

And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
 C                G                                C
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown
                 F              Am           Am  G    F
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
F                        Am            Am     G    F
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
          G  C              G C
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine
