Hilltop Hoods - Through the dark

The very day you were b^Aorn, your light shone bold in dark The do^Emctor said you had a hole in your heart J^Gust knew you were making room for a whole lot of heart A^Dnd loved you from that day until your soul would depart Y^Amou took your first breath upon my chest I^C built you a good nest before I left I^Gt wasn't that I never loved your mother B^Emut two happy homes are better than one that suf^Afered Every regret in this life that I've m^Gade Have been tempered by the strength in your eyes eve^Emryday

Still^G I'm sorry I neglected you while I was away You ^Awere eight when we headed to casualty ^AmAnd no child should face their death or mortality ^CYou taught me patience, strength and morality And I'd bu^Emrden this weight instead of you happily ^GThat night, you asked would you die from your sickness? And w^Emhy had it chosen your life out of millions ^AmYou filled me with a pride I was missing ^CCause grown men cry they lack your type of resilience ^AOnly when it's dark are the stars so bright ^EmFor your fight you're gonna harbour these scars for life But you a b^Grave little soul, came in the cold ^ALike a fighter hope you find that same flame when you're old

^AmFall as^Cleep And lay with ^Emme We'll search the ni^Gght for shooting st^Aars If they c^Aman't take Away your p^Cain I'll take your h^Emand, walk through the d^Gark ^DThe dark ^AThrough the dark

I wrote t^Amhis while you slept in a hospital bed Know t^Chis, your breath at the cost of my breath I'd fo^Arego this life, let you honour my death If you co^Emuld know what it's like to live long and regret So you can fi^Gght you can shove you can bleed and hurt So you can c^Ary you can love learn your creed or worth Earn your st^Emripes, act dumb, cut your teeth or worse Or take a wi^Gfe to become your sky, sea and earth But i^Df these are things that you never see With ^Amno god, just me here to set you free And most ot^Chers won't understand the hell in which you've been in Un^Gtil they've wrestled with a demon Take he^Aart, to be brave we first need fear That same he^Amart that's seen pain yet persevered Will serve you, ^CI know this world is of course unfair And you h^Emurt, but these virtues are yours to bare I^A named you Lion Hearted the day you're born Th^Gey say the night is darkest before the dawn I^Em'll take your hand upon this path if you can li^Gght a spark Then we can find some calm in a ra^Dging st^Aorm

S^Amo we can live, laugh and cherish every breath we breathe A^Cnd no matter where you go know I'll never leave C^Emause even when we're gone we're living in a memory, so l^Amive on

^AmFall as^Cleep And lay with ^Emme We'll search the ni^Gght for shooting st^Aars If they c^Aman't take Away your p^Cain I'll take your h^Emand, walk through the d^Gark ^DThe dark ^AThrough the dark

And I'm sorry that I can't t^Amake your pain or answer why ^CWe'll lay awake through darker skies ^GI say your name you cast a light ^AYou're a flame on a starless night ^AmAnd I didn't know I was lost till you found me ^CDidn't know I was locked here without keys ^GBut we can walk across all these boundaries ^AYou and me nothing here to stop you you're now free ^EmSo I wrote this to give you hope ^DFor every good thing in life you'll live to know ^AmThey say cancers survivors are gi^Cfted though Let me k^Gnow if that isn't ^Aso
