The Projectionist

     C                      Am    
When I was young I fell in love 
    G     C
with story
           Am                   
With the eleventh hour, with the 
  G         F
blaze of glory
     C                      Am    
The theater lights dim and all 
    G     C
goes quiet
         Am                   
In the darkest of rooms, light 
   G          F
shines the brightest


[Verse 2]
     C                  F
When hands are tied and clocks are 
ticking
C              Am           
An audience convinced: we’re 
   G     F
leaning in
            Am       G
Holding our breath again
     C                   F
Just when we thought the game was 
over
C                       Am 
The music lifts and our dying 
    G      F
soldier lives!
                 C       G
And we breathe a sigh of relief


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
      F    C   Am    G          
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving 
     F      C      G
our shadows behind us now
      F    C   Am    G          
We're leaving, we'€™re leaving 
F      C       G
it all behind for now


[Verse 3]
    C             Am
But even dust was made to settle
C                    Am         
And if we’re made of dust, 
G          F                  C  G
then what makes us any different?
    C                Am
I guess we give what we’ve been 
given:
C                     Am      G 
A family tree so very good at 
     F
giving up
               C    G
When we’ve had enough
       Am            G
Though truth is heavier than fiction
C                    Am        G
Gravity lifts as the 
         F
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       
So we'€™re leaving, we'™re 
        F      C      G
leaving our shadows behind us now
      F    C   Am    G           
We're leaving, we're leaving it 
F      C       G
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           
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving 
 F      C       G
'em all behind for now
