As recorded by Jack Johnson & Hermanos Gutiérrez (2025 release) [Intro] D G D G D [Verse 1]
D                    G
When dawn comes back

  D
I won't trust the light

       G
'Cause everything it shines on

               D
Has to say goodbye

D
When dawn comes back

D
I won't laugh at the sun

       G
Or the waves when they bend

                                   D
And pretend that they won't come undone
[Chorus]
G                         A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

D                              G                    A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light

               D
Hold on to the light
[Instrumental Break] D G D G D G D G D [Chorus]
G                         A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

D                              G                    A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light

               D
Hold on to the light
[Verse 2]
D                                                 G
Well, if I take a picture, could I stop it in its tracks?

  D
I know, I know there's nothing I can do to bring it back

    G                                                       D
The light that comes in, well, it tends to just go where it wants

                                                   G
Why do I write it down and will it ever be enough?

      D
We'll lift up all the memories, can we carry on the love?

           G
'Cause the light when it bends as it falls through the limbs

                                  D
And pretends that it won't come undone
[Chorus]
G                         A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

D                              G                    A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light

               D
Hold on to the light

G                         A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

D                              G                    A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light

               D
Hold on to the light

G                         A
Play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

D                              G                    A
Soak it up enough and we could hold on to the light

               D
Hold on to the light
[Outro]
G  A                D
     Hold on to the light
