Intro: G ? D Am Em ? D - G G D Through the driving rain Am I have lost the words Em To peace us back together D G To tell you how it hurts. D Cause lately we've been breaking Am All we've built so far Em And I'm tired of sitting waiting D C Alone in the dark. Em D Am C There's still a way to make it right Em D G We'll find the strength this time. D And pull back this fail Am Turn night into day Em D G Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D Pour oil on these flames Am Speed up my heart again Em D C Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? G D Round we go in circles Am Does it have to be this hard? Em We can stop the fighting D C If you let down your guard Em D Am C There's still a way to make it right Em D G We'll find the strength this time. D And pull back this fail Am Turn night into day Em D G Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D Pour oil on these flames Am Speed up my heart again Em D Am Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? Em So come on, come on, come on D C We've been living in the shadows too long D So come on, come on, come on G D Just pull back this fail Am Turn night into day Em D G Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D Pour oil on these flames Am Speed up my heart again Em D G Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D And pull back this fail Am Turn night into day Em D G Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D Pour oil on these flames Am Speed up my heart again Em D C Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light? D G You're standing in the way of the light?
