VERSE 1:
G                  D2
  You woke the morning up
                Am7
Running off my darkest night
                         Esus4
The longest light I've seen
G                     D2
  Here goes a chance I know
               Am7
Cashing in on all my chips
                   Esus4
Let all my ships come fly

PRECHORUS 1:
       Cmaj7              Em             D
These days, a little bit longer than the last
                Cmaj7                 Em              D
And all of these ways, a little bit stronger than the past
        Cmaj7          Em           D
And your light, found my bottle in the night
Em              D    Em               D2
Gave me second life, kept me in this fight

CHORUS:
       G2         D2
And I won't back down
   G2          C
I won't turn around and around
       G2         D2
And I won't back down
        C
Doesn't matter what comes crashing down
     Em                  D
I'm still gonna stand my solid ground

INSTRUMENTAL:
Gsus2 G Gsus2 G

VERSE 2:
G                        D2
  You found me once and for all
                       Am7
I laid it down in the sinking ground
                   Esus4
The hopeless undertow
G                     D2
  Singing out the gentle sound
                   Am7
Rattling through my smoking screens
                   Esus4
My broken dreams last night

PRECHORUS 2:
       Cmaj7              Em             D
These days, a little bit longer than the last
               Cmaj7                 Em              D
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
               Cmaj7          Em           D
And all of your light, found my bottle in the night
Em               D     Em              D2
Kept me in this fight, gave me second life

BRIDGE:
Dsus4/F#  G   Dsus4/F#           G5/E
Hallelu - jah ripped through my veins
  Dsus4/F#         G
I heard the hammer drop
   Dsus4/F#      G5/E
My blood in the rain
Dsus4/F#  G   Dsus4/F#     G5/E
Hallelu - jah came like a train
     Dsus4/F# G
When all is   lost

All is left to gain
