Verse 1
D#m
The very day you were born,
your light shone bold in the dark
C#
The doctor said you had a hole in your heart
G#m
I just knew you were making room
for a whole lot of heart
And loved you from that day
until your soul would depart
D#m
You took your first breath
upon my chest
C#
I built you a good nest before I left
G#m
It wasn't that I never loved your mother
But two happy homes are better

Verse 2
than one that suffered
D#m
Every regret in this life that I made
C#
Have been tempered by the strength
in your eyes everyday
G#m
I know that you never said
that you'd like me to stay
Still I'm sorry I neglected you
while I was away
D#m
You were eight
when we headed to casualty
C#
And no child should face
their death or mortality
G#m
You taught me patience,
strength and morality
And I'd burdened this weight
instead of you happily
Pre-chorus 1
D#m
That night,
you asked if you'd die from your sickness
C#
And why had it chosen your life out of millions
G#m
You filled me with the pride
I was missing
Cause grown men cry,
that lack your type of resilience
D#m
Only when it's dark that the stars are bright
C#
For your fight, you gonna harbour
these scars for life
G#m
But you're a brave little soul,
came in the cold
Like a fighter, hope you find
Chorus 1
the same flame when you're old
D#m
C#
Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
C#
We'll search the night for shooting stars
D#m
C#
If they can't take away your pain
G#m
C#
I'll take your hand, walk through the dark

Verse 3
D#m
I wrote this while you slept in a hospital bed
C#
Know this, your breath
at the cost of my breath
G#m
I'd forgo this life, that you'd go on in my death
If you'd know what it's like
to live long and regret
D#m
So you could fight, you could shove,
you could bleed and hurt
C#
You could cry, you could love,
and your creed will work
G#m
When your strides act dumb
and you teethe your words
It'll take a wife to become your sky,
B
sea and earth
D#m
But if these are things that you never see
C#
With no god, just me, it'll set you free
G#m
And most others won't understand
the hell in which you've been in
'Til they wrestle with the demon
D#m
But take heart to be brave, but first we fear
C#
The same heart, the same pain,
G#m
you persevere, will serve you
I know this world is of course unfair,
and hurt you
But these virtues are yours to bear
Pre-chorus 2
D#m
I named you lionhearted
the day you were born
C#
They say the night is darkest
before the dawn
G#m
I'll take your hand upon this path
If you can light a spark,
then we can find some calm in a raging storm
D#m
Ain't nothing left to scare you see
C#
So we can live life and cherish
every breath we breathe
G#m
And no matter where you go,
know we'll never leave
Cause even when we're gone,
we're living in a memory
Chorus 2
So live
D#m
C#
(on) Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
We'll search the night for shooting stars

C#
If they can't take away your pain

Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
We'll search the night for shooting stars

And I'm sorry that I can't
F#
G#m
take your pain, or answer why
I lay awake through, darker skies
B
C#
Ddim
I say your name, you cast a light
D#m
You're a flame on a starless night
And I, didn't know
F#
G#m
I was lost 'til you found me
Didn't know I was locked in, without keys
B
C#
But we can walk across
Ddim
D#m
all these boundaries
You and me, nothing here to stop you,
you're now free
F#
So I wrote this to give you hope
G#m
For every good thing in life you live to know
B
They say cancer survivors
C#
Ddim
are gifted though
D#m
Let me know if that isn't so
