G 
I was in between 
Em 
I was an offering 
G                D 
I was a burnin' branch. 
G 
Close to feeling tall 
Em 
Almost afraid to fall 
G             D 
I was made of chance. 
G 
And when the colours bleed,  
Em 
Mix up my memories,  
G               D 
When I ride the moon 
G 
I'll just be a sound you heard. 
Em 
I'll be a foreign word. 
G                        D 
Its meaning your type of blue 
Em    D                    G 
And I leave that here with you. 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, lines will blur, 
G             Em  
And you got a face like no other,  
D            Em                 D 
I'll keep it where I see things right. 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, darkness comes, 
G             Em          D 
But you got a way like no other one,  
D            Em                   D 
I'll keep it where my black keeps light. 
 
G 
Make me a mirror of,  
Em 
All that I cannot love. 
G               D 
Let me hold the cast,  
G 
Of my favourite years,  
Em 
The truth how they gave me here,  
G                D  
And that that be last,  
Em   D          G 
 Let that be my last. 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, lines will blur, 
G             Em  
And you got a face like no other,  
D            Em                 D 
I'll keep it where I see things right. 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, darkness comes, 
G             Em          D 
But you got a way like no other one,  
D            Em                   D 
I'll keep it where my black keeps light. 
 
 
Ohhh  
And a darkness I do not know. 
If it takes me I feel you glow,  
In a darkness I do not know 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, lines will blur, 
G             Em  
And you got a face like no other,  
D            Em                 D 
I'll keep it where I see things right. 
 
G     Em 
Ohhh, darkness comes, 
G             Em          D 
But you got a way like no other one,  
D            Em                   D 
I'll keep it where my black keeps light.
