Chords

[Intro]
Cmaj7                    Em7
The night fell like a curtain,

Fmaj7                Gsus4
I stood there in the rain,

Cmaj7             Em7
I gave you all my strength,

Fmaj7             Gsus4
But you left me in the pain.
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
You said you were broken, I held you as you cried,

Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9                 G7sus4
Gave you every piece of me, just to keep you by my side.

Cmaj7                    Am7                 Dm9             G7sus4
But when the storm came crashing, and the tides pulled me below,

Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
You turned away so quickly, as if you didn't know.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7    
Beneath the lies, you hid your face,

Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7   
Left me drowning in this dark place.

Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7   
I was there through every storm,

Fmaj7        G7  Cmaj9           Am7   
But you vanished, left me torn.
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
I watched you rise from ashes, saw you smile once more,

Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
Thought you'd be there for me, like I was before.

Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
But now I'm here, in the dark, with nothing but regret,

Cmaj7                    Am7       Dm9             G7sus4
Wishing I had seen the signs, the trap that you had set.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7 
Beneath the lies, you hid your face,

Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7  
Left me drowning in this dark place.

Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7   
I was there through every storm,

Fmaj7         G7  Cmaj9           Am7 
But you vanished, left me torn.
[Bridge] (Guitar strumming slows, becomes more intense)
Em9                         A7sus4
Maybe one day, you'll look back and see,

Dm7                           G7
The man who saved you, was the man you set free.

Em9                         A7sus4
But as I walk away, and the memories fade,

Dm7                           G7
I'll find my strength again, in the scars you made.
[Outro] (Guitar returns to soft fingerpicking)
Cmaj7                    Em7
The night fell like a curtain,

Fmaj7             Gsus4
But now I'm walking on,

Cmaj7                    Em7
No more waiting for the dawn,

Fmaj7             Gsus4
Your shadow's finally gone.
