[Verse]
GbDeath is promisedGb to the bee
GbWhose sting protects theGb colony
BWas its life worthAbm nothing more
ThanBbm honey for theGb queen?
GbLife is a branch and itGb is a dove
GbHandcrafted byGb confusing love
BSign language isAbm our reply
BbmWhen church bells make Gbno sound
GbIn hollow towers andB empty hives
We cravedGb sweetness with aB fear of heights
BbmWas it all just aB grain of sand
In an hourEbmglass?
The Bsmartest thing I've evEbmer learned
Is that GbI don't haveGb all the answers
BJust a Ebmlittle light toGb call my own
Though iBt pales in coEbmmparison
To the Gboverarching Gbshadows
A Bspeck of light canEm reignite the Gbsun
And BbmswallowGb darkness whole
GbDeath is a cold, Gbblindfolded kiss
GbIt is the finger pressedGb upon our lips
IBt puts an unwanted eAbmmphasis
On Bbmhow we should havGbe lived
[Chorus]
GbLife is a gorgeous, Bbbroken gift
SGbix billion pieces wBbaiting to be fixed
BbmLove letters that were Bnever signed
Sent to where we Ebmlive
But theB sweetest thing i've Ebmever heard
Is tGbhat I don't have toGb have the answers
BJust a Ebmlittle light to call Gbmy own
Though itB pales in coEbmmparison
To the GboverarchingGb shadows
A spBeck of light canEbm reignite theGb sun
Bbb Gb
And swallow darkness whole
