Lyrics

Nar row day light

en tered my room.

Shin (F)ing (Gm)hours (Bb)were brief.

(Bb)Win ter is (F)o ver, (Eb)sum mer is near.

(Eb)Are we strong (Bb)er

(F)than we be lieve?

I walked through halls of (F)rep u ta tion,

a mong the in fam ous, too.

As the (Bb)cam era (F)clings

to the (Gm)com mon thread,

(Eb)be yond all van i (Bb)ty,

(Cm7)in to a (Eb)gaze to (F)shoot you (Bb)through.

Is the kind ness we count (F)up on

hid den in ev (Eb)’ry one?

I stepped out in a sun lit grove, al though deep down I wished it (F7)would rain,

Went (Eb)wash ing a way all the sad ness and tears

that a (Cm7)will nev er fall (F7sus)so heav i (F7)ly a (Bb)gain.

Nar

en tered my room.

Shin (F)ing (Gm)hours (Bb)were brief.

(Bb)Win ter is o ver, (Eb)sum mer is near.

Are (Eb)we strong (Bb)er

(F)than we be lieve.
