    C                        Em               Am
The dark is always coldest before dawn as the day is slowly drawn
C                       Em           Am       F
Sunlight and daybreak expose all the wrongs
         C        Em             Am
From the night before, we wanted so much more
C                   Em         Am
Now all we crave is rest and retreat

        Dm        G              Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
  Dm                  G                    Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
        Dm        G       Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
       Dm                 G                C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

C                         Em              Am
Loss is always hardest at the start as it breaks the heart
    C                  Em        Am
And severs the ties of what once was
      C    Em         Am             F
As we move on and realize what's now gone
C            Em                      Am
Learn to celebrate the times we once had

        Dm        G              Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
  Dm                  G                    Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
        Dm        G       Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
       Dm                 G                C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate

F           Am        
Do you ever stop and think how come?
F             Am                   G
Have you ever wondered why we're so numb?
F                 Am
Though it may not matter in the end
F                     Am            G             C
I just can't help but ask will we ascend the weak end?
