G     Gadd11 Gadd9 G G
Could you,

Gadd11       G  Gadd11  Gadd9 G
Stare at the sun,

    G        C
And say that you believe,

            C
You are the only one,

G     Gadd11  Gadd9 G G
To continue

   Gadd11   G  Gadd11  Gadd9 G
To feel the pain,

               C
Or fly back in time before,

  Cadd9    C
Before the pouring rain.
[Chorus 1]
Em7                 A
   Did the sun ever shine so bright,

           Em7
As you and I,

               A
Oh, why did we toss the fight,

    C
The world keeps saying "I forgive you",

C                                            F   C  D#/G
Please forgive me too till the day that it's true.
[Interlude] F C D#/G [Verse 2]
F   G  Gadd11 Gadd9 G G
Ah, do ya,

  Gadd11     G  Gadd11  Gadd9 G
Remember the war,

          C
After the smoke had cleared,

               C
Too tired from all the fear,

F   G  Gadd11 Gadd9 G G
And so thе,

    Gadd11     G  Gadd11  Gadd9 G
The damage was done,

G       C
With no hopе to build again,

Cadd9       C
No point to lose or win.
[Chorus 2]
Em7              A
   Will I be the lucky ones,

               Em7
Still, it goes on,

               A
No, we are not nearly done,

    C
Oh, I'll keep saying I forgive you,

C
Please forgive me too,

                       C    C
Till the day that it's true.

Did the sun ever shine ever shine so bright,

As you and I,

                 Em7
Oh, how could we toss the fight,

                     A
Oh, will I ever know why,

Oh, I'll keep saying I forgive you,

C
Please forgive me too,

                       C
Till the day that it's true,

Till the day that it's true . . ..
