In the middle of the night, I may watch you go
C F C
There’ll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
F G Am G F
There’ll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
F G F C
But I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
C F C
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
C F G Am G
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
F C F G F C
Watch me crumble over and over
I have done wrong, so build your tower
But call me home and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again
F (palm mute)
But love the one you hold
G (palm mute)
And I’ll be your goal
Am (palm mute)
To have and to hold
C
A lover of the light
Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
But love the one you hold
And I’ll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There’ll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There’ll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I’ll show
But I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
