Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
The lights go out all around me.
One last candle to keep out the night.
And then the darkness surrounds me.
I know I'm alive, but I feel like I've died.
Verse 2
And all that's left is to accept that it's over.
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made.
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder.
I feel like I'm slipping away.
Chorus
After all this has passed, I still will remain.
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain.
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again,
And there'll be beauty from pain.
You will bring beauty from my pain
Verse 3
My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
Verse 4
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames
Chorus x1
Bridge
Here I am at the end of me
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to your promise
There will be a dawn
