Verse 1:
  C     Dm7     C            F
I held aloft my whiskey dreams
    C     Dm7     C            F
And struggling to find, it seems
     C         Dm7  Em     F
Some semblance of a common theme
  C       Dm7         C F
I drifted back to Earth
    C           Dm7     C         F
But hearts were made to soar above
   C         Dm7        Em          F
To grace the skies with summer doves
   C        Dm7       Em        F    C           Dm     C F Am7
To furl the darkness, screaming of a better time to come

Pre-chorus:
      Am7
Cruel sacrifice
G
  I come to find
Dm7                  Em
What it was, what it is
                           F
And what it ought to be is changing

Chorus:
C
Oh, love
Dm7
Oh, love
     F
Come down from your anguish, and I'll do the same
F
My reasons for leaving I'll try to explain
C
Oh, love
Dm7
Oh, love
     F
Stay out for the moment, I promise I'll change
F
We can still have the future, it won't be the same

Interlude: C Dm7 F

Verse 2:
       C         Dm     C              F
Though hold your aces towards your chest
    C        Dm        C                 F
And play the game with all you're blessed
    C         Dm        C          F
And bleed for truth and wander west
    C              Dm  C F
And I might do the same
    C       Dm7        C         Fmaj7
The path to take might not be won
    C       Dm7    C           Fmaj7
And bedded down in crimson thorn
    C           Dm7      C         Fmaj7  C                F Am7
But still, but still let hope be yours on every stormy day

Pre-chorus:
      Am7
Cruel sacrifice
G
  I come to find
Dm7                  Em
What it was, what it is
                           F
And what it ought to be is changing

Chorus:
C
Oh, love
Dm7
Oh, love
     Fmaj7
Come down from your anguish, and I'll do the same
Fmaj7
My reasons for leaving I'll try to explain
C
Oh, love
Dm7
Oh, love
     Fmaj7
Stay out for the moment, I promise I'll change
Fmaj7
We can still have the future, it won't be the same

Bridge:
G                       Am7
Maybe it's enough to be willing to die
F
Maybe it's enough to find truth in the lies
        G                           Am7                          F
And you go, and I'll stay and build something that we call our own

Outro:
C
Oh, love
Dm7
Oh, love
     Fmaj7                   (nc)
Come down from your anguish, I'll do the same
(nc)
My reasons for leaving I'll try to explain
