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

Verse 2
than one that suffered
(D sharp minor) Every regret in this life that I made
(C sharp major) Have been tempered by the strength
in your eyes everyday
(G sharp minor) 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 sharp minor) You were eight
when we headed to casualty
And no (C sharp major) child should face
their death or mortality
(G sharp minor) You taught me patience,
strength and morality
And I'd burdened this weight
instead of you happily
Pre-chorus 1
That (D sharp minor) night,
you asked if you'd die from your sickness
And (C sharp major) why had it chosen your life out of millions
(G sharp minor) You filled me with the pride
I was missing
Cause grown men cry,
that lack your type of resilience
(D sharp minor) Only when it's dark that the stars are bright
For your (C sharp major) fight, you gonna harbour
these scars for life
But you're a (G sharp minor) brave little soul,
came in the cold
Like a fighter, hope you find
Chorus 1
the same flame when you're old
(D sharp minor) Fall asleep (C sharp major) and lay with me
(G sharp minor) We'll search the night for shoo (C sharp major) ting stars
(D sharp minor) If they can't take (C sharp major) away your pain
(G sharp minor) I'll take your hand, walk through (C sharp major) the dark
(D sharp minor) The dark
(F sharp major) Through the dark (B major)
Verse 3
I wrote (D sharp minor) this while you slept in a hospital bed
Know (C sharp major) this, your breath
at the cost of my breath
I'd forgo (G sharp minor) this life, that you'd go on in my death
If you'd know what it's like
to live long and regret
So you could (D sharp minor) fight, you could shove,
you could bleed and hurt
You could (C sharp major) cry, you could love,
and your creed will work
When your (G sharp minor) strides act dumb
and you teethe your words
It'll take a wife to become your sky,
(B major) sea and earth
But if (D sharp minor) these are things that you never see
With no (C sharp major) god, just me, it'll set you free
And most (G sharp minor) others won't understand
the hell in which you've been in
'Til they wrestle with the demon
But take (D sharp minor) heart to be brave, but first we fear
The same (C sharp major) heart, the same pain,
you persevere, will serve (G sharp minor) you
I know this world is of course unfair,
and hurt you
But these virtues are yours to bear
Pre-chorus 2
I (D sharp minor) named you lionhearted
the day you were born
(C sharp major) They say the night is darkest
before the dawn
(G sharp minor) 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 sharp minor) Ain't nothing left to scare you see
So we can (C sharp major) live life and cherish
every breath we breathe
And no (G sharp minor) 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 sharp minor) (on) Fall asleep (C sharp major) and lay with me
(G sharp minor) We'll search the night for shooting stars
(D sharp minor) If they can't take (C sharp major) away your pain
(G sharp minor) I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
(D sharp minor) Fall asleep (C sharp major) and lay with me
(G sharp minor) We'll search the night for shooting stars
(D sharp minor) If they can't take (C sharp major) away your pain
(G sharp minor) I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
(D sharp minor) The dark
(F sharp major) Through the dark (B major)
Interlude 1
(D sharp minor) (F sharp major) (G sharp minor)
(B major) (C sharp major) (Ddim) (D sharp minor)
Outro 1
And I'm sorry that I can't
take your pain, or answer (F sharp major) why (G sharp minor)
I lay awake through, darker skies
I (B major) say your name, you (C sharp major) cast (Ddim) a light
(D sharp minor) You're a flame on a starless night
And I, didn't know
I was lost (F sharp major) 'til you found (G sharp minor) me
Didn't know I was locked in, without keys
(B major) But we can walk across (C sharp major)
(Ddim) all these bounda (D sharp minor) ries
You and me, nothing here to stop you,
you're now free
So I wrote this to give (F sharp major) you hope
For (G sharp minor) every good thing in life you live to know
They say (B major) cancer survivors
are (C sharp major) gifted (Ddim) though
(D sharp minor) Let me know if that isn't so
