Full Song Lyrics:
Verse:
C G Am F
“Underneath the city glow, we’re just shadows,
C G Am F
Running from the night, chasing daylight.
C G Am F
Hoping for a break, the chance to take flight,
C G Am F
In this concrete maze, we’re just small sprites.”
Chorus:
Dm Em F G
“Chasing daylight, in the moon’s gaze,
Dm Em F G
Seeking solace, in the sun’s blaze.
Dm Em F G
We’re just dreamers, caught in life’s craze,
C G Am F
Chasing daylight, lost in a haze.”
Verse:
C G Am F
“Painted smiles hiding the pain,
C G Am F
In the chase, there’s so much to gain.
C G Am F
Fighting the darkness, braving the rain,
C G Am F
In the pursuit of daylight, we stake our claim.”
Chorus:
Dm Em F G
“Chasing daylight, in the moon’s gaze,
Dm Em F G
Finding hope, in the sun’s blaze.
Dm Em F G
We’re just dreamers, caught in life’s craze,
C G Am F
Chasing daylight, till the end of days.”
