[D][A][B][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Long before the colors start [C]to bleed
I can see the painting come [D]alive[G]
[Bm]Clever like an angel in dis[C]guise
Moving [F]in and out of reach

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][F][Am][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]If the candle lights this [C]crooked path
Like a lighthouse peering through [G]the haze
[Bm]I will find the river through th[C]e rain
And I'll [F]reach the water's [Bb]edge
[F][Am][F][Em][C#dim]

[Verse 3]
[C][Am]
[Em]Shed your [G]light on [Bm]me[D]
[Em]Be my ey[G]es when I [D]can't se[C]e
[F#m]Shed y[Em]our light [G]on me[Bm][D]
[Em]Be my gu[G]ide so I[D] can see[A]
The [B]bigger [Em]pic ture

[Verse 4]
[Em]Like a moth burned by the fire
And driven to [C]the flame
(Prophecies' a blessing
and [F#m]a curs[C]e)[Em]
I must bare this cross [Bm]alone
There's no one else to [C]blame
[D][Em][D][G][C][F][G][Am][F]
With [Bb]each treasure found
An[C]other [Bb]ship[F]wreck's washed ashore
I am car[Em]ried [D]by the cur[C#m]rent
On a [C]slow and [B]steady
[Am]course[A][G]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Shed your [G]light on [Bm]me[D]
[Em]Be my ey[G]es when I [D]can't se[C]e
[D]She[Em]d your lig[G]ht on me[Bm][D]
[Em]Be my gu[G]ide so I[D] can see[A]
The [B]bigger pic[C#m]ture

[Verse 6]
[C#m]What If caught in a mom[E]ent
I get [B]lost and can't find my [F#m]way
What if [C#m]all along I was wr[B]ong
In every [G#m]turn, In [B]every way
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Would you talk [Bm]me of[A]f the ledge
Or [E]let me [D]take [C#m]the fall
[D#]Better [Em]to tr[C]y and fail
Then [Am]to ne[E]ver tr[B]y at all

[C]See but don't believe

[Verse 9]
[G]Wounds that never heal
A [C]heart that can[G]not [C]fee[G]l[C]
[G]A dream that's all [Bm]too r[G]ea[Bm]l
[C]A stare as cold as steel
[D]I've

[Verse 10]
[G]listened to the stories of
resentment and disdain
I've [Bm]looked into the empty eyes of anger,
fear, and shame
I've [Em]taken blood from every stone
And [D]traveled every [C]road[G][Em]

[Verse 11]
[F]When I see the distant lights
il[Bb]luminate [F]the night
Then [Dm]I wil[D]l kn[D#]ow I a[F]m [Am]home[G]
