A light that never comes
Em ~ ~
Em
1. Nah, you don't know me,
G
lightning
above and a fire below me,
D
you
cannot catch me, cannot hold me,
A
you
cannot stop, much less control me.
Em
When it rains, it pours,
G
when
the floodgates open, brace your shores,
D
that
pressure don't care when it breaks your doors,
A
say it's all you can take, better take some more.
Em G
Oh, oh, 'cause I know what
it's like to test fate,
D
had
my shoulders pressed with that weight,
A
stood
up strong in spite of that hate.
Em G
Oh, ooh, night gets darkest
right before dawn,
D
what
don't kill you makes you more strong,
A
and I
been waitin' for it so long.
Em G D A
The nights go on, waiting for a light that never comes
!
Em G D A
I chase the sun, waiting for a light that never comes
!
Em G D
A Em G
D A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ! Ooh, ooh, waiting for a
light that never comes.
+ Em - G - D - A (2x)

2. When I was young, they told me, they said,
G
make
your bed, you lie in that bed.
D
A king can only reign 'til,
instead,
A
there
comes that day it's off with his head.
Em G
Oh, night gets darkest right
before dawn,
D
what
don't kill you makes you more strong,
A
you'll
have my mercy, then, when you're gone.
+ CHORUS

3. Nah, you don't know me,
G
lightning
above and a fire below me,
D
you
cannot catch me, cannot hold me,
A
you
cannot stop, much less control me.

When it rains, it pours,
G
when
the floodgates open, brace your shores,
D
that
