[Dm]The darkest [C]nights we

[Verse 1]
[Dm]look [D5]upon[Am]
[F]They smolder on [C]the law[Dm]n[F]
What [C]we smite and [Dm]bathe [D5]in l[Am]ight
[F]And where we [C]crawl out
[Dm]from[D][D5][Am]
Draw the [G]blood, [Bm]accept[C] the stain[Dm]
[Am]Everyone [Bm]looks [C]upon
[F]Darkened fla[C]gs on the[Dm] cusp of
[Am]dawn
[F][C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F]
We should [C]light out [D]for [D5]the
[Am]trees [F]or the[C] great beyond
[D]Lig[Dm]ht ou[F]t for th[C]e love of th[Dm]ee,[D5][Am]
[F]we build our[C] lives upo[Dm]n[D][Am]
Cast [G]aside the [C]hurtful [Dm]things that
[Am]bear the [Bm]fruit of [C]scorn[F]
Darkened [C]flags on [Dm]the cusp
of [Am]dawn
[F][C][D][D5]

[Verse 3]
[Am]So you've move[Bm]d out [G]from[C] the city[D][Dm][Am]
to ho[Bm]rizons [C]stretched out [Am]far
Beyond the [Bm]pains [G]and the [C]reach of [D]planes,
[Dm]chas[Am]ing distant s[Bm]tars[C]
[F]The baggage tha[C]t you tak[D]e def[D5]ines
[Am]the [F]things that you [C]become
[D]Dar[D5]kened[F] flags on th[C]e cusp o[D]f dawn[Dm][Am]
