Chords

[Intro] C F [Verse]
Am
Torchlight on these shadows

F
Daylight to the black

         Am
Ive been holding onto something

        G
But I'm giving it back

            Am
If I could reach out to you, dear

F
Reach back over time

           Am
If I could hold you

                             G
I'd tell that one day, it'll be all right
[Chorus]
    C                    Em  F
But sometimes people let you down

    C                   Em    F
And sometimes evil is a quiet town

      C               Em        F
Where nobody wants to hear your truth

    C               Em      F
And nobody wants to believe you

    G       Am
But I do, I do

                  F
Someone out there will, too
[Interlude] C F [Verse]
Am
Torchlight in a locked room

  F
Unwind and untangle this mess

           Am
If I could go back

                                  G
I'd hide you somewhere they would never guess

                Am
'Cause you're a blank page right now

            F
But they'll cover you in ink and black your heart out

      Am                                G
If anybody tells you not to tell, don't listen
[Chorus]
       C                    Em  F
'Cause sometimes people let you down and

C                 Em        F
Sometimes the old kings are crowned

       C               Em      F
'Cause nobody wants to see the light

    C               Em             F
And nobody wants to believe you're right

      G     Am
But I do, I do

                        F
And someone out there will, too

              C      F      C      F
Torchlight on you
[Instrumental] Am C F Am C F C F Dm G Am [Bridge]
     C                   F        Em
Unwind and untangle this mess

     F                   Dm
Unwind and untangle this mess

     G                   Am
Unwind and untangle this mess
[Outro] C F
            Dm
And hold on tight

            G                           Am     C Em    C F     Dm F
We're gonna drag the dark into the torchlight
