Am / / / / / / / F / / / C / / / G / / / / / / /
VERSE 1:
(G) Am
Give me a sign
F C
Give me a reason to hold on
G
I’m holding on
Am
What is a life
F C
A series of moments all in a line
G
Just passing by
CHORUS: (straight down strums, four per measure)
(G) F
And so I lay here awake
C
As all the clouds fall away
G
Then fast asleep in your arms
Am
Wake up wonder where we are
F
Try to freeze frame the day
C
Then the light starts to fade
G
I will scream at the sky
Am
’Til we drink the oceans dry
F
And so we run
C / / / G / / / (let ring)
VERSE 2:
(G) Am
Over the bridge
F C
Back to the place where we were young
G
What we could have done

What did you find

Here we are naked under God
G
Lucky God is blind
CHORUS:
(G) F
And so I lay here awake
C
As all the clouds fall away
G
Then fast asleep in your arms
Am
Wake up wonder where we are
F
Try to freeze frame the day
C
Then the light starts to fade
G
I will scream at the sky
Am
’Til we drink the oceans dry
F
And so we run
C
And so we run
G Am
And so we run...
F
And so we run
C
And so we run

And so we run...
