[Verse 1]
D* Cadd9
Morning comes too early,
D* Cadd9
And night time falls too late
nd sometimes all I want to do is wait
The shadow I’ve been hiding in
Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7
Has fled from me today
I know it’s easier
Bm7 Em
To walk away than look it in the eye
ut I will raise a shelter to the sky
nd here beneath this star tonight I’ll lie
She will slowly yield the light
s I awaken from the longest night

[Verse 2]
reams are shaking set sirens waking up tired eyes
With the light the memories all rush into his head.
y a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul she dances
She was dancing through the night above his bed.
And walking to the window
He throws the shutters out against the wall
And from an ivory tower hears her call
G C D Cadd11
“Let light surround you”

[Verse 3]
It’s been a long, long time, he’s had a while to think it over
In the end he only sees the change
Light to dark, dark to light

Light to dark, dark to light
Heaven must be more than this
When angels waken with a kiss
Sacred hearts won’t take the pain
ut mine will never be the same
He stands before the window
His shadow slowly fading from the wall
And from an ivory tower he hears her call
”Let the light surround you”

[Bridge]

Once I was but I was found.
When I heard the stained glass
G* A Am
Shatter all around me
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
Em G* A
But I will hold this one on high above me still
Am Bm7
She whispers words to clear my mind
I once could see but now at last, I’m blind.

[Outro]

I know it’s easier
Bm7 Em7
To walk away than look it in the eye
ut I have given all that I could take.
nd now I’ve only habits left to break.
Tonight I’ll still be lying here surrounded
In all the light.
