C Am G C
When I was young I fell in love with story
Am G F
With the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory
C Am G C
The theater lights dim and all goes quiet
Am G F
In the darkest of rooms, light shines the brightest
[Verse 2]
C F
When hands are tied and clocks are ticking
C Am G F
An audience convinced: weâre leaning in
Am G
Holding our breath again
C F
Just when we thought the game was over
C Am G F
The music lifts and our dying soldier lives!
C G
And we breathe a sigh of relief
[Chorus]
F C Am G F C G
We're leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now
F C Am G F C G
We're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now
[Verse 3]
C Am
But even dust was made to settle
C Am G F C G
And if weâre made of dust, then what makes us any different?
C Am
I guess we give what weâve been given:
C Am G F
A family tree so very good at giving up
C G
When weâve had enough
Am G
Though truth is heavier than fiction
C Am G F
Gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape
[Pre Chorus]
F C Am G
And it makes us brave again
F C Am G
And it makes us brave again
F C G
And it makes us brave
[Chorus]
F C Am G F C G
So we're leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now
F C Am G F C G
We're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now
F C Am G
And it makes us brave again
F C G
And it makes us brave
F C Am G F C G
We're leaving, we're leaving 'em all behind for now
