Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You Own The Only[C][D][G][C][D][G]
Light

[Verse 2]
I listen to the wind [C]girl
As you sleep by my side
[Am]The weather's getting colder
So [D]much harder now to hide

[Verse 3]
[G]I confess I'm worried girl
'Cause as [C]we fill up our days
For [Am]all the dreams we said we'd live
We [D]watch them slip away

[Verse 4]
So I [G]hold you like an anchor
[C]I hold you in the night
You're [Am]all that I can count on
[D]You own the only light

[Verse 5]
And I [G]hold you like an answer
[C]The only one that's right
For [Am]when I'm lost in darkness
You [C]own the [D]only [G]lig[C]ht[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[G]You see I think we know we're loosing it
[C]That easy dream is gone
Like [Am]everyone we fool ourselves
[D]And say we're holding on

[Verse 7]
But I [G]know I can't return again
You [C]never can go home
Though [Am]with you here I still am lost
At [D]least I'm not alone

[Verse 8]
And I [G]hold you like an anchor
[C]I hold you in the night
[Am]You're all that I can count on
You [D]own the only light

[Verse 9]
And I [G]hold you like an answer
[C]The only one that's right
[Am]For when I'm lost in darkness
You [C]own the [D]only [G]lig[C]ht[D][G]

[Verse 10]
Oh [Bm]don't you [C]ever [Bm]take
[A]away your [E]light[Em]
[Bm]Don't you [C]ever [Bm]leave me
[D]with your [E]light[Em]
[Bm]Don't you [C]ever [Bm]take [Am]away your [E]light[Em]
Or else [Bm]never [C]let there [Bm]be a[A]n other ni[E]ght

[Verse 11]
[A]We traveled hard to get here girl
[D]But now our traveling's done
And of [Bm]all the answers I
have found
You're the [E]only solid one

[Verse 12]
And I'm [A]frightened how I need you now
But I [D]can't wall in my heart
And with [Bm]you is how I hope to end
And [E]with you now I start

[Verse 13]
And I [A]hold you like an anchor
[D]I hold you in the night
[A]You're all[Bm] that I can count on
You [E]own the only light

[Verse 14]
Yes I [A]hold you like an answer
[D]The only one that's right
For [Bm]when I'm lost in darkness
You [D]own the [E]only [A]light

[Outro 1]
[D][E][A][D][E][A]
