Through The Dark

                       A
The very day you were born, your 
light shone bold in dark
      Em
The doctor said you had a hole in 
your heart
 G
Just knew you were making room for a
 whole lot of heart
 D
And loved you from that day until 
your soul would depart
 Am
You took your first breath upon my 
chest
 C
I built you a good nest before I 
left
 G
It wasn't that I never loved your 
mother
 Em                                
But two happy homes are better than
             A
 one that suffered
Every regret in this life that I've 
 G
made
Have been tempered by the strength 
                Em
in your eyes everyday

I know you never said that you'd 
like me to stay
     G
Still I'm sorry I neglected you 
while I was away
    A
You were eight when we headed to 
casualty
Am
And no child should face their death
 or mortality
C
You taught me patience, strength and
 morality
          Em
And I'd burden this weight instead 
of you happily
G
That night, you asked would you die 
from your sickness?
     Em
And why had it chosen your life out 
of millions
Am
You filled me with a pride I was 
missing
C
Cause grown men cry they lack your 
type of resilience
A
Only when it's dark are the stars so
 bright
Em
For your fight you're gonna harbour 
these scars for life
           G
But you a brave little soul, came in
 the cold
A
Like a fighter hope you find that 
same flame when you're old

[Chorus]
Am     C
Fall asleep
             Em
And lay with me

                   G               
We'll search the night for shooting
   A
 stars
         Am
If they can't take
           C
Away your pain
                Em               
I'll take your hand, walk through 
      G
the dark
D
The dark
A
Through the dark

[Verse 2]
         Am
I wrote this while you slept in a 
hospital bed
      C
Know this, your breath at the cost 
of my breath
      A
I'd forego this life, let you honour
 my death
         Em
If you could know what it's like to 
live long and regret
             G
So you can fight you can shove you 
can bleed and hurt
            A
So you can cry you can love learn 
your creed or worth
            Em
Earn your stripes, act dumb, cut 
your teeth or worse
            G
Or take a wife to become your sky, 
sea and earth
     D
But if these are things that you 
never see
     Am
With no god, just me here to set you
 free
           C
And most others won't understand the
 hell in which you've been in
  G
Until they've wrestled with a demon
       A
Take heart, to be brave we first 
need fear
            Am
That same heart that's seen pain yet
 persevered
                C
Will serve you, I know this world is
 of course unfair
         Em
And you hurt, but these virtues are 
yours to bare
 A
I named you Lion Hearted the day 
you're born
  G
They say the night is darkest before
 the dawn
 Em                                
I'll take your hand upon this path 
             G
if you can light a spark
Then we can find some calm in a 
  D      A
raging storm

Ain't nothing left to scare you see
 Am
So we can live, laugh and cherish 
every breath we breathe
 C
And no matter where you go know I'll
 never leave
 Em                             
Cause even when we're gone we're 
                         Am
living in a memory, so live on

[Chorus]
Am     C
Fall asleep
             Em
And lay with me
                   G               
We'll search the night for shooting
   A
 stars
         Am
If they can't take
           C
Away your pain
                Em               
I'll take your hand, walk through 
      G
the dark
D
The dark
A
Through the dark

[Verse 3]
                            Am
And I'm sorry that I can't take your
 pain or answer why
C
We'll lay awake through darker skies
G
I say your name you cast a light
A
You're a flame on a starless night
Am
And I didn't know I was lost till 
you found me
C
Didn't know I was locked here 
without keys
G
But we can walk across all these 
boundaries
A
You and me nothing here to stop you 
you're now free
Em
So I wrote this to give you hope
D
For every good thing in life you'll 
live to know
Am                           
They say cancers survivors are 
    C
gifted though
        G                 A
Let me know if that isn't so
