I watch you close tonight
C G Em Bm
Stolen moonlight on your skin
D F#m Am Em
A shade that comes from fright
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Let me in, please let me in
G D Am
I’m just looking for the light

D C G Em7
I didn't have to ask
C G Em Bm
One glance, one long embrace
D F#m Am Em
I will hold you to the last
F#m Bm F#m Bm
And this vast and rolling sky
G D E Esus-E
Paints starlight on your face

D C G Em7
Through the crowd I move at will
C G Em Bm
A preacher warns of fires of hell
D F#m Am Em
I have seen their futures, too
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Thieves and killers them as well
G D Am
In the dark where I found you
C - G

D C G Em7
I have sinned and I am cursed
C G Em Bm
Condemned to ever walk the earth
D F#m Am Em
And it cannot be put to rights
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Oh the hunger, oh the thirst
G D E Esus-E
Still I’m longing for the light

E G
If I could pull up stakes
A (Adrop) E (esus)
Correct mistakes, escape these chains
E G
Comes the dawn and I'm afraid

That I will soon be unmade
G A7
And as I wait the rising sun
