I
I can't promise you that I won't let you down
And I
I can't promise you that I will be the only one around
When your hope falls down
But we're young
Open flowers in the windy fields of this war-torn world
And love
This city breathes the plague of loving things more than their cre-at-ors
(little riff interlude)

I ran away
I could not take the burden of both me and you
It was too fast
Casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break
When it was a promise I could not make
But what if I was wrong?
O what if I was wrong?
But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight (x2)
(little riff interlude -- play tabbed way round then play in reverse then play
tabbed way round - listen to recording you'll get the timing)

And now this land
Means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees
At every turn
The water runs away from me and the halo dis-appears
And the hole when you're not near
So what if I was wrong?
O what if I was wrong?
But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight (x4)
One strum:
So hold on to what you believed in the light
A little different to the others, pretty sure theres a Fmaj7 and C2 in there. Hope
you find it useful.
GOD BLESS.
Thom.
