[Verse 1]
G                                  Am                             G
When you were young and you were alive before you let it pass you by

                        Am
Lying awake night after night staring at the ceiling

G                             Am
You were afraid but God knows why so what’s it gonna take honey

G                                     Am
For you to believe there might be a better life waiting
[Prechorus]
              C                G
Don’t make it worse. Let it go past

             D                Am                C
Maybe we’ll find the time to walk again in the sun

           G              D                  Am
Before the darkness that comes around for everyone

       C              G      D            Am         C
And I know that it’s hard on you but it’s hard on me too

            G            A
Honey we’re lost together
[Chorus]
                C            G            D              Am
And I know that I believe in you honey if you believe in me

       C                G             D                 Am
But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t believe in anything

         C             G           D              Am
Honey and I believe in you only if you believe in me

       C                G            D              Am  C     G
But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna belie--ve in me
[Interlude] Kenny takes over for Jon's riff with Matty's underneath G Am G Am [Verse 2]
G                                   Am
Where did you lose the fire in your eyes? Little blue embers

G                            Am
Funny the way the well runs dry used to feel something

G                             Am
Used to believe that power lies somewhere inside

G                                Am
I couldn’t see that there was a better life waiting
[Prechorus]
           C                 G
I know it hurts and it goes fast

          D                Am                    C
We didn’t take the time to walk together in the sun

            G                   D                Am
Before the darkness honey that came just like I knew it would

       C         G        D            Am          C                G         A
And I know I was hard on you. You were hard on me too. Maybe we’re lost forever.
[Chorus]
                C            G            D              Am
And I know that I believe in you honey if you believe in me

       C                G             D                 Am
But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t believe in anything

         C             G           D              Am
Honey and I believe in you only if you believe in me

       C                G            D              Am  C     G
But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna belie--ve in me
[Outro]
G                             Am
When you were young you were alive

G                             Am
When you were young you were alive
