Lyrics

I re (F5)mem bered black skies, the light ning all a round me.

I re (F5)mem bered each flash as time be gan to blur,

like a (F5)star tl ing sign that fate had fi n’lly found me.

And your (Db5)voice was all I heard,

that I (Bb5)get what I de serve.

So give me (F5)rea son to prove me wrong, to (Eb5)wash this mem ’ry clean.

Let the (F5)floods cross the (Ab5)dis tance in your eyes.

Give me (F5)rea son to (Ab5)fill this hole, con (Eb)nect the space be tween.

Let it (Db5)be e nough to reach the truth that lies

a cross this new di vide.

There was

a cross this new di vide.

In ev ’ry (F5)loss, in ev ’ry lie, in ev ’ry (Eb5)truth that you’d de ny, and each re (F5)gret and each good bye was a mis take too great to hide.

And your (Db5)voice was all I heard,

that I (Bb5)get what I de serve.

So (C5)give me (F5)rea son to prove me wrong, to (Eb)wash this mem ’ry clean.

Let the (F5)floods cross the (Ab5)dis tance in your eyes.

Give me (F5)rea son to (Ab5)fill this hole, con (Eb)nect the space be tween.

Let it (Db5)be e nough to reach the truth that lies

a cross this new di vide,

a (Bb5)cross this new di vide,

a (Bb5)cross this new di vide, (Bb5)cross this new di vide.
