Intro -x2-: D  A  Gbm  E 

Verse:
            D            A              Gbm       E
One million reasons why, you shouldn't even try.
        D              A                  Gbm            E     
After all you're just one heart, a single candle in the dark.
               D             A      Gbm      E     
And there are shadows here, feeding on your fears,
               D            A               Gbm            E
That you don't have what it takes - who are you to make a change?

Pre-Chorus:
    D   A   Gbm    E             D       A        Gbm  E
But oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow.

Chorus:
    D               A             Gbm E
Whatever you do, just don't look back.
   D                   A         Gbm  E
Oh somebody needs the light you have.
   D                A             Gbm          
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart.
        E
Keep on pushing back the dark,
D       A                 Gbm  E
Keep on pushing back the dark.

Verse:
         D        A              Gbm         E
The city on a hill, it should be shining still.
      D               A            Gbm             E
Every sinner saved by grace, has a purpose, has a place
           D           A         Gbm        E   
Inside the bigger plan, we might not understand.
          D                 A           Gbm              E
But if we just keep walking on, we will see the Kingdom come, yeah.

Chorus:
    D               A             Gbm E
Whatever you do, just don't look back.
   D                   A         Gbm  E
Oh somebody needs the light you have.
   D                A             Gbm          
Whatever you do, just don't lose heart.
        E
Keep on pushing back the dark,

Keep on pushing back the dark.

Outro -same chord pattern-: D A Gbm E
-Let your lights all shine-
When you feel like you're too small
-Let your lights all shine-
To do any good at all
-Let your lights all shine-
Like a sunrise through the window
-Let your lights all shine-
Like a symphony crescendo
-Let your lights all shine-
We are waking up again, we are rising from the dead
-Let your lights all shine-
We are shining like the stars, we are pushing back the dark
-Let your lights all shine-
Yeah, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
-Let your lights all shine-
We are pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
-Let your lights all shine-
Just pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark
-Let your lights all shine-

Biography

Drawing on musical influences as diverse as pop, folk, and good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, Josh Wilson’s Life Is Not A Snapshot creates a rollicking atmosphere of electrically charged sonic satisfaction. From the jangling guitars on “Sing,” to the thought-provoking cadence of “Before The Morning” and the Beatle-esque strains of “Do You Want To Know,” Josh creates melodic flights of fancy that take you on a journey beyond what is to what should be.
