[Verse 1]
Em
When everything was broken,
    D
The Devil hit his second stride.
        Bm
But you remember what I told ya,
             C
Someday I’ll need your spine to hide behind.
    Em
For fear of moments stolen.
  D
I don’t wanna say goodnight.
               Bm
But I’ll still see you in the morning.
                C
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                              Em
I could’ve told you ‘bout the long nights.
                               D
How no one loves the birds that don’t rise.
                         Bm
So you can tell the heroes go hide.
            C
My sense of wonder’s just a little tired
 
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
C
You'd see you shine, you shine
D        Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind
C
But I am lost this time
D                      Em                           C
   Are we destined to burn, or will we last the night?
C
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
D              Em                             C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
C                            Em
You'd see you shine, you shine
 
[Solo]
D Bm C
 
[Verse 2]
         Em
So we'll run into the open,
D
Keep your hand inside of mine
              Bm
And then when everything is over
          C
I hope to think of this as better times
    Em
The sky got red and swollen
  D
I guess I never see the signs
               Bm
There can't be songs for every soldier
               C
There can't be solace every time you cry
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                              Em
I could’ve told you ‘bout the long nights.
                               D
How no one loves the birds that don’t rise.
                         Bm
So you can tell the heroes go hide.
            C
My sense of wonder’s just a little tired
 
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
C
You'd see you shine, you shine
D    Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind
C
But I am lost this time
D                      Em                           C
   Are we destined to burn, or will we last the night?
C
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
D              Em                             C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
C                            G
You'd see you shine, you shine
 
[Post-Chorus]
      D           C
I was lost 'til I found you
G            D                             C
   Now these songs will hold and hide your name
       G        D      C
All at once was all about you
G             D                                   C
   Since that night the moon has never seemed the same
 
[Chorus]
D              Em                              C
   But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
C
You'd see you shine, you shine
D    Em                             C
   I know you'd never leave me behind
C
But I am lost this time
 
D                     Em
What if the love you deserve is love you never find?
C                                                D
   I’ve learned in love and death we don't decide
            Em                              C
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
                             Em
You'd see you shine, you shine
 
[Outro]
