[Pre-Chorus]
D
These nights with the sky
              C
still full of stars
                               G
Oh, I’m gonna find you in the dark

[Verse 2]
G
Walking the moon as if on a leash
G
Follow my shadow in the sand
G
Blue light beaming down on me
                            C
And the footprints you have left
C
Your silence covers me
Like heavy water fathoms
               G
underneath the sea
G
Midnight, not a cloud in the sky
                           D
I should be lost in your eyes
