              D       G6(9)         D  G6(9) 
Come by the fire, lay down your head 
             D                    G6(9) 
My love, I see you're growing tired 
            D               G6(9)    
So set the bad day by the bed 
           A 
And rest a while, your eyes can close 
          Bm                            G 
You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing 
                    D 
I know you miss the world, the one you knew 

The one where everything made sense 
                                                 A 
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works 
                                  Bm 
Til the bottom drops out and we learn 
               G                            G 
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground 

D                                             F#m 
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos 
                                      Bm 
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out 
G       A                                     D 
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now 
                                          F#m 
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here 
                           Bm          E 
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears 
       A4     A                  D 
We'll say we did not give up on love today

D4         D   D4 D             D4 
I'll show you good, restore your faith 
            D               D4          D              D4 
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place 
              A    A4             A   A4 
Convince you, love, don't breathe it in 
         Bm                               G 
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in 
              D    D4     D   D4 
And it has no name, no guarantee 
              D              D4         D              D4 
It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see 
            A    A4    A            A4 
But that's enough, if the bottom drops out 
          Bm       G                          G 
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground 

D                                             F#m 
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos 
                                      Bm 
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out 
G       A                                     D 
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now 
                                          F#m 
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here 
                           Bm          E 
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears 
       A4     A                  D      D4  D  D4 
We'll say we did not give up on love today 
        G        A                  D   D4  D  D4  D  D4  D 
We'll say we did not give up on love today
