[Intro]
|Em G C | x2

[Verse 1]
G C
So, we’ll call it all believing in the art
G C
There’s evidence and remnants of a spark
Em D C
Strong belief there’ll be a better part
G C
When the hoping ends (When the hoping ends)
Em G C
All these memories get written in the scars
G C
Now, every dream is left among the stars
Em D C
Force that dreaded raven to depart
G C
When the snow begins (When the snow begins)

[Chorus]
Em C Em
I’ll be all out lonely, if you all outgrow me
C Em
To know with all of this potential should’ve raised up, but I never did
C Em C Em
Scared the stars won’t show me if you all outgrow me
C Em
I know every road I run down has a sundown, that’s the way it is

[Verse 2]
C
So, I’ll try to chase those days but never catch ’em
Em C
I’ll try to walk the other way and learn detachment
D C
Raise the eyes you save for me and all the laughter
Am C
You used to hold me in
C
I’ll just let go of love that others dreamed and captured
Em C
I’ll never know another feeling like your rapture
Em C
I’m gonna go, I gotta be here in your absence

Now, this poem has ended

I’ll be all out lonely, if you all outgrow me

Scared the stars won’t show me if you all outgrow me

I know every road I run down has a sundown, that’s the way it is

That’s why I’m let down, let down, honey
C Em C D Em
That’s why I’m let down, let down, honey

[Bridge]
C D G
That night, that drive
C
Felt like every single wolf was around us
D
That night was so quiet
C
Felt like all the trees were keeping the sound out
D G
So, hold me right, I’ll cry
C
That I’ll promise you this moment will come
D G C
Oh, alright, you got a pretty way of keeping the sound out

[Chorus]
