[Verse]
F# C#2
You woke the morning up
G#m7
running off the darkest night
D#sus4
the longest fight i’ve seen
F# C#2
Here goes a chance i know
G#m7
cashing in on all my chips
D#sus4
let all my ships come fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Bmaj7 D#m C#2
these days, a little bit longer that the last
Bmaj7 D#m C#2
and all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
Bmaj7 D#m C#2
and your light, found my bottle in the night
D#m C# D#m C#2
and gave me second life, you kept me in this fight,
[Chorus]
F#2 C#2
and I won’t back down
F#2 B
I won’t turn around and around
F#2 C#2
and I won’t back down
B
doesn’t matter what comes crashing down
D#m C#2
I’m still gonna stand my solid ground
[Pre-verse chords]
F#sus2 F# F#sus2 F#5
[Verse]
F# C#2
you found me once and for all
G#m7
i laid it down in the sinking ground
D#sus4
the hopeless undertow
F# C#2
singing out the gentle sound
G#m7
rattling through my smoking screens
D#sus4
my broken dreams last night
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge/Outro]
C#5/F F#
I sing Hallelujah, rip through my veins
F#sus2/F
I heard the hammer drop
F#5/D#
my blood in the rain
C#5/F F#
Hallelujah, came like a train
F#sus2/F
when all is lost
F#5/D#
all is left to gain
[Repeat Chorus till end]
