Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There's a cer[G]tain point
the [C]body can't come back from
In [G]one year, we've learned
the [C]turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
[G]Chuckie was there for three out of three
[C]I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
[D]There for the one who was closest to me
But I can't say I'd run when things get [C]hard
It's just that I don't [D]trust myself with my heart
But I've [C]had to let it break a little more
'Cause they [G]say that's what it's for

[Chorus 1]
That's how the [Em]light shines [G]in
That's how the [C]light shines in
That's how the [Em]light gets [G]in, mm- [C]mm
[G][F]

[Verse 2]
So [C]everyone was there,
they were [D]standin' and laughin'
And [G]I'm on the [Bm]side
with my [Em]tears streamin' [G]down
There's [C]somethin' about the [D]clutch of the wrist
He [G]thought mine was [Bm]his
to carve [Em]into his [G]mouth
We've [C]only got hours
And I just can't stop cryin'
'cause [D]all of the ways
When you [G]see someone [Bm]dyin',
you [Em]see all your d[G]ays
Flash in [C]front of you
And you think about
[G]who would be with [Bm]you[Em]
[G]And then there's Don[C]oghue[D]
[G]Mm[Bm][Em][G]
[C][D]

[Bridge 1]
Daddy, I [G]miss them
I'm in the [C]mountains
I'm probably [G]running away
from the feelings I get
When I [D]think of all the things a[Ebdim7]bout them
Daddy, I [Em]miss them
I'm at the Road[C]runner Cafe
I'm probably [G]running away
from the thoughts in the day
That have [D]things to do with them, but they say

[Chorus 2]
That's how the [Em]light gets [G]in
That's how the [C]light gets in
That's how the [Em]light gets [G]in

[Verse 3]
[C]Think by the third of March,
[D]I was cracked open
[G]Finally the [Bm]ground was cold,
[Em]they wouldn't [G]open
[C]Brought by the sunlight of the [D]spirit
to pour into [G]rain[Bm]
There's a [Em]name for it
[G]in Japa[C]nese it's [D]kintsugi
[G]They sang folk [Bm]songs from the [Em]'40s
E[G]ven the four[C]teen-year old knew,
"Froggie [D]Came A-Courtin'"
[G]How do my [Bm]blood rela[Em]tives
know all [G]of these songs?
[C]I don't know anyone lef[D]t to know songs
that I [G]sing[Bm][Em][G]

[Chorus 3]
That's how the [C]light gets [D]in
That's how the [F]light gets [C]in[D]

[Bridge 2]
But daddy, I [G]miss them
I'm at the Road[C]runner Cafe
Probably [G]running away from the feelings today
In the [D]snow-capped mountains of the [Ebdim7]desert
Daddy, I [Em]miss them
I'm in the [C]mountains
Probably [G]running away,
I've been meaning to say
That there's [D]nothing to do
except [Ebdim7]know that this is

[Outro 1]
How the [Em]light gets in
Like [G]cracking, the [C]light gets in
[D]It's how the [Em]light gets in
[G]That's how the [C]light gets in
[G]That's how the [C]light gets [D]in
Then you're [Em]golden
[Em]Ah-ah, [C]ah[D]
Ah, [Em]ah, ah
[Em]Ah, [C]ah
Just another folk song, but [D]anyway
I [G]try so [Bm]hard, but [Em]that's o[G]kay
It's how the [C]light gets [D]in
It's how the [F]light gets [C]in
It's how the [D]light gets [F]in[C]
[C][D][G]
[G][D][C][G]
