Em
When everything was broken,

    D
The Devil hit his second stride.

        Bm
But you remember what I told ya,

             C
Someday I'll need your spine to hide behind.

    Em
For fear of moments stolen.

  D
I don't wanna say goodnight.

               Bm
But I'll still see you in the morning.

                C
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
                              Em
I could've told you 'bout the long nights.

                               D
How no one loves the birds that don't rise.

                         Bm
So you can tell the heroes go hide.

            C
My sense of wonder's just a little tired
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

C
You'd see you shine, you shine

D        Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind

C
But I am lost this time

D                      Em                           C
   Are we destined to burn, or will we last the night?

C
I will hold you 'til I hold you right

D              Em                             C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

C                            Em
You'd see you shine, you shine
[Solo] D Bm C [Verse 2]
         Em
So we'll run into the open,

D
Keep your hand inside of mine

              Bm
And then when everything is over

          C
I hope to think of this as better times

    Em
The sky got red and swollen

  D
I guess I never see the signs

               Bm
There can't be songs for every soldier

               C
There can't be solace every time you cry
[Pre-Chorus]
                              Em
I could've told you 'bout the long nights.

                               D
How no one loves the birds that don't rise.

                         Bm
So you can tell the heroes go hide.

            C
My sense of wonder's just a little tired
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

C
You'd see you shine, you shine

D    Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind

C
But I am lost this time

D                      Em                           C
   Are we destined to burn, or will we last the night?

C
I will hold you 'til I hold you right

D              Em                             C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

C                            G
You'd see you shine, you shine
[Post-Chorus]
      D           C
I was lost 'til I found you

G            D                             C
   Now these songs will hold and hide your name

       G        D      C
All at once was all about you

G             D                                   C
   Since that night the moon has never seemed the same
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

C
You'd see you shine, you shine

D    Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind

C
But I am lost this time

D                     Em
What if the love you deserve is love you never find?

C                                                D
   I've learned in love and death we don't decide

            Em                              C
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes

                             Em
You'd see you shine, you shine
[Outro] D Bm C
