[Verse 1]
     C                      Am        G     C
When I was young I fell in love with story

           Am                     G         F
With the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory

     C                      Am        G     C
The theater lights dim and all goes quiet

         Am                      G          F
In the darkest of rooms, light shines the brightest
[Verse 2]
     C                  F
When hands are tied and clocks are ticking

C              Am              G     F
An audience convinced: we’re leaning in

            Am       G
Holding our breath again

     C                   F
Just when we thought the game was over

C                       Am     G      F
The music lifts and our dying soldier lives!

                 C       G
And we breathe a sigh of relief
[Chorus]
      F    C   Am    G               F      C      G
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now

      F    C   Am    G          F      C       G
We're leaving, we'€™re leaving it all behind for now
[Verse 3]
    C             Am
But even dust was made to settle

C                    Am         G          F                  C  G
And if we’re made of dust, then what makes us any different?

    C                Am
I guess we give what we’ve been given:

C                     Am      G      F
A family tree so very good at giving up

               C    G
When we’ve had enough

       Am            G
Though truth is heavier than fiction

C                    Am        G         F
Gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape
[Pre Chorus]
F     C                   Am    G
        And it makes us brave again

F     C                   Am    G
        And it makes us brave again

F     C                  G
        And it makes us brave
[Chorus]
         F    C   Am    G               F      C      G
So we'€™re leaving, we'™re leaving our shadows behind us now

      F    C   Am    G           F      C       G
We're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now

F    C                 Am    G
       And it makes us brave again

F    C                 G
       And it makes us brave

      F    C   Am    G            F      C       G
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving 'em all behind for now
