Artist: Chely Wright
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [Em] [D] [G]
[VERSE 1]
Per[D]haps it is fitting
The sky [C]heavy and spitting at the [Em]ground
The [D]sun hid above us
With a [C]grip on my breath it had [D]found
I’d [C]let it out slow as [G]you stood to go
And it [D]rose high just as I slipped [Em]down
Then I [G]whispered your name
Knowing [D]well you would not turn a[Em]round
[CHORUS]
We [D]stand at the door
Like the [C]holy make war
[G]Both of us [D]sure we are [Em]right
We move [C]through it unseen
For the [G]darkness be[Em]tween us
But [D]I mean to leave on the [G]light
[C] [G]
[VERSE 2]
[D]I want to let go of
All [C]I think I know of [Em]how
Our [D]story unwinds
And might [C]turn back to [G]find us some[D]how
We’ve [C]both turned away
When [G]wisdom would say
We’ve squandered for[Bm]giveness and [Em]time
And all [G]they would allow
If I could [D]offer [B]both of us [Em]mine
[CHORUS]
We [D]stand at the door
Like the [C]holy make war
[G]Both of us [D]sure we are [Em]right
We move [C]through it unseen
For the [G]darkness be[Em]tween us
But [D]I mean to leave [Em]on [D]the [G]light
[BRIDGE]
What [F]held us together
[Am]Lay like a feather in my [G]hand
[F]Not enough weight now for [E7]flight
Or the freedom to [Am]land[Em] [Am]
We each [C]take from the other
Now [Em]struggle is all that we [F]share
It’s less than I am
And [Em]more than I think I can [D]bear
[CHORUS]
We [D]stand at the door
Like the [C]holy make war
[G]Both of us [D]sure we are [Em]right
We move [C]through it unseen
For the [G]darkness be[Em]tween us
But [D]I mean to leave on the [Em]light
But [D]I mean to [Em]leave [G]on [D]the [G]lig[C]ht [G]
