CHASE THE LIGHT - Matt Mays
This is a new song by Matt Mays. I tabbed it from watching the video of it on his
site (the only recording of this song thus far).
I'm 99% sure on the chords, but the lyrics are iffy in places, and the song will
likely change before it is released on the next record.

Tuning: Standard
INTRO (also end of chorus, starting on 'light'):
G Em Bm E9sus4

B|---0-0------0-0--------3-3--3-3-------------|
G|---0-0------0-0--------4-4--4-4-------------|

E|-3-3-3----0-0-0-----------------------------|
VERSE:
G Em Bm E9sus4
I'm searching for something that won't change
G Em Bm E9sus4
As pure as the midnight snow on the Jasper ranges
CHORUS:
G Em Bm E9sus4
Into the everlasting night,
G Em Bm E9sus4
I'll chase the light
VERSE:
Got to keep on moving, gotta take the chance
Cause I'm losing my rhythm with every step of the dance
CHORUS
VERSE:
Further and further, until there's strange land
I can't let my shadow determine where I'll stand
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Em C G D
And when it shines, it's gonna shine (shine) like a million suns
Em C G D
Rise and ignite the fire, glow, coming sweet as golden goods
Em C G D
As thick as thieves, we shall receive, burning bright sent from the king
Em C G
Shine your light and save my soul
VERSE:
I wish I was with you, holding you tight
Cause my angels get sullied by the demons of the night
CHORUS, Repeat first verse, End on CHORUS
