Title:
“Chasing Daylight”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
G C D Em
In the twilight, I found myself lost,
G C D Em
Thought the shadows, would pay off the cost.
G C D Em
In the cold night, under the star’s frost,
G C D Em
I’m chasing daylight, at any cost.
(Chorus)
G C D Em
Chasing daylight, in the depths of night,
G C D Em
It’s a tough fight, but I won’t lose sight.
G C D Em
With all my might, and with all my fright,
G C D Em
I’m chasing daylight, till I ignite.
(Verse)
G C D Em
In the heartbreak, I found my verse,
G C D Em
In the love’s quake, I found my universe.
G C D Em
In the sorrow, I found my curse,
G C D Em
Chasing daylight, in this rehearse.
(Chorus)
G C D Em
Chasing daylight, in the depths of night,
G C D Em
It’s a tough fight, but I won’t lose sight.
G C D Em
With all my might, and with all my fright,
G C D Em
I’m chasing daylight, till I ignite.
