[Intro]
C#5 A5 E5 C#5 A5 E5
[Verse 1]
C#5 A5 E5 If it's late and you hear me calling tonight C#5 A5 E5 but I ain't right there and you're wondering why C#5 A5 E5 I've made my way to the severed seas C#5 A5 where the sun burns hot E5 C#5 A5 E5 and the wind does sing
[Verse 2]
C#5 A5 E5 Days away from where I left C#5 A5 E5 there's heaven sent eyes in a pickup bed C#5 A5 E5 I'm trying harder to get on back C#5 A5 but the tides moving in E5 C#5 A5 E5 and god's pushing the raft
[Verse 3]
C#5 A5 E5 A thousand miles have worn my feet C#5 A5 E5 and the body I hold ain't gettin sleep C#5 A5 E5 your sweet touch moving closer to me C#5 A5 well it ain't what I got E5 C#5 A5 E5 but it's what I need
[Chorus]
A5 C#5 Hold on my dear E5 because I'm fighting like hell to face my fears A5 C#5 E5 someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here A5 And it'll burn like hell C#5 E5 but it might as well be the last time you're in tears C#5 A5 E5 C#5 A5 E5 I'm betting on a better year
[Verse 4]
C#5 A5 E5 I'm so far into so many things Lord C#5 A5 E5 I pray someday I'll earn my wings C#5 A5 E5 I've seen hell and been through greed C#5 A5 E5 C#5 A5 E5 That's a part of me I hope you do not meet
[Verse 5]
C#5 A5 E5 Waste my breath on things I hate C#5 A5 E5 like an ongoing trap that I'll never escape C#5 A5 E5 But I hope the words that I do sing C#5 A5 E5 C#5 A5 E5 leave a mark on you like a wedding ring
[Chorus]
A5 C#5 Hold on my dear E5 because I'm fighting like hell to face my fears A5 C#5 E5 someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here A5 And it'll burn like hell C#5 E5 but it might as well be the last time you're in tears C#5 A5 E5 I'm betting on a better year C#5 A5 E5 I'm betting on a better year
[Outro]
C#5 A5 E5 You know I dug my grave C#5 A5 E5 I was buried alive with my dying faith A5 E5 Your heart beats where I lay C#5 A5 E5 C#5 A5 E5 and through you it seems I've found my way A5 E5 My dear you'll see one day C#5 A5 E5 all I've done is for heaven's sake
