Verse:
Bb    Dm   Cm   
Hear my voice
        Gm        F        Eb
I came out of the woods by choice
Bb            Dm      Cm
Shelter also gave us shade
       Gm      F     Eb
In the dark I have no name


Bb              Dm         Cm
So leave that click in my head
         Gm           F            Eb
I will remember the words that you said
Bb                        Dm   Cm
With a clouded mind and heavy heart
       Gm           F          Eb
But I am sure we'll see a new start

Chorus:
Gm  F              Bb        Eb
      So when your hopes on fire
Gm  F              Bb       Eb
      But you know your desire
            Gm                F
Don't hold a glass over the flame
               Bb          Eb
Don't let your heart grow cold
      Gm         F
I will call you by name
       Bb            Eb
I will share your load

Verse:
Bb          Dm          Cm
I wrestled long with my youth
           Gm        F       Eb
I find it hard to live in the truth
Bb                 Dm    Cm
But do not tell me all is fine
                Gm       F       Eb
When I lose my head, I lose my spine


Bb            Dm         Cm
So leave that click in my head
           Gm        F             Eb
I will remember the words that you said
Bb                  Dm      Cm
You brought me out from the cold
     Gm               F          Eb
O How I long, how I long to grow old

Chorus:
Gm  F              Bb        Eb
      So when your hopes on fire
Gm  F              Bb       Eb
      But you know your desire
            Gm                F
Don't hold a glass over the flame
               Bb          Eb
Don't let your heart grow cold
      Gm         F
I will call you by name
       Bb            Eb
I will share your road

Interlude:
    Gm - x4 - 
    Eb Bb F Gm - x2 -

Bridge:
Gm           Gm
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
            Eb    Bb    F   Gm
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
Gm           Gm
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
            Eb    Bb    F   Gm
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
Gm             Gm                      Eb   Bb   F   Gm
I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I wander
Gm             Gm                      Eb   Bb   F   Gm
I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I wander
Eb    Bb   F   Gm
The skies I wander

For the missing half of the chorus, I just play the chords in the order that they are for the verses, and I kinda wing the timing. It’s improvisational, but it sounds fairly decent. (Better than just skipping that part altogether!)

WHAT!?! Half of the chorus is missing, and that’s like the best part! It doesn’t make sense to cut it out.
