Gsus2             Csus2 Gsus2                        Csus2
Morning comes too early,      and nighttime falls to late

    Am              Gadd9           Cadd9
And sometimes all I want to do is wait

    Am               Gadd9         Bm7              Am7
The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today

Cmaj7              D/C      Bm7                             Em7
      I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye

    Am             G/B              Cadd9
But I will raise a shelter to the sky

    Am                G/B                 Cadd9
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie

Am7             G/B                Cadd9    Dsus4                
She will slowly yield the light as I awaken from the longest
 G     C/G   D/G   F/G   G   C/G   D/G   F/G   G   C/G   D/G   F/G
night

G                                        C/G
Dreams are shaking, set sirens waking up tired eyes
        
         D/G                                  F/G
With the light the memories all rush into his head

     G                             C/G      
By a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul, she dances

        D/G                                 
F/G                                 
She was dancing through the night above his bed

    Em7                       Dsus4                                 
And walking to the window, he throws the shutters out against the 

 G   C/G  G  Dsus4/G
wall

    C/E                            Dsus4                G        C/G D/G 
F/G 
And from an ivory tower hears her call, "let light surround you"

G                                       C/G
It's been a long, long time, he's had a while to think it over

       D/G                                    F/G
In the end he only sees the changes, Light to dark, Dark to light,

Light to dark, Dark to light

G                                  C/G       
Heaven must be more than this when angels waken with a kiss

D/G                                   F/G
Sacred hearts can't take the pain but mine will never be the same

   C/E                           Dsus4                        
He stands before the window, his shadow slowly fading from the

 G    C/G  G  Dsus4/G
wall

    C/E                            Dsus4                    G
And from an ivory tower hears her call, "let the light surround you"

Guitar solo (two measures each chord): G   C   D   F   G   C   D   F

Am7                    D/F#  ( /E /D )        Em                      Em/D
   Once lost but I was found           when I heard the stained glass shatter

        Aadd9/C#  A/C#  A7/C#
 all around me

  C                G/B               Am7       Gadd9
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill

           Em               Em/D   Aadd9/C#     A/C#  A7/C#  
But I will hold this one on high above me still

    Am7               G/B              Cadd9              
Dsus4            
She whispers words to clear her mind I once could see but now at last I'm

blind

Cmaj7        D/C      Bm7                             Em7
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye

    Am           G/B             Cadd9
But I had given all that I could take

    Am            G/B            Cadd9
And now I've only habits left to break

  Am                  G/B            C      Cmaj7    Dsus4  D        
G     
Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded       in all        the light
