[Verse 1]
C            F                
All of these fathers with their
  C
 bald spots
G           F                       C
Pull to the car line dropping kids off
Dm7                    G       
the sons and daughters of their
             C
 parents wounds
F                       G
Parents of their own

[Chorus]
F               G           
It’d make some sense if some 
      C
were made to me
F            G                C
Sometimes I don't see love in anything
    Dm7            G            C
And just when I surrender to my shadow
       Dm7         G
I snap out of it,
    F      G      C
and step into the light
        F     G      C
I step back into the light

[Verse 2]
C            F                     C
Sometimes my mind feels like a valley
G    F                C
So I take it to the bar
        Dm7         G
Fill it up like an ocean
    C                 F
To drown my troubles in
         C                
Just to find out what good
   G             C
 swimmers they are

[Verse 3]
C        F                      C
When my dreams feel like a rusty rail
G              F               C
That I slapped on a coat of paint
Dm7          G                   
As the layer cracked and chipped 
        C
and failed
      Dm7                           G
This wretched lie is all that remains

[Chorus]
F               G                
It’d make some sense if some were
 C
 made to me
F            G                C
Sometimes I don't see love in anything
    Dm7            G            C
And just when I surrender to my shadow
       Dm7         G
I snap out of it,
    Dm7         G
I snap out of it,
    F      G      C
and step into the light
        F     G      C
I step back into the light
    F      G      C
and step into the light
       Dm7   G
I step back
G        C
into the light
