Verso:
 
Am             C        F 
 The lights go out all around me. 
          Am        C            F 
 One last candle to keep out the night. 
Am            C           F 
 And then the darkness surrounds me. 
           Dm                          G 
I know I'm alive, but I feel like I've died. 

Verso: 
And all that's left is to accept that it's over. 
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made. 
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder. 
I feel like I'm slipping away. 


[Refrão]
 
Am     C            G         F 
 After all this has passed, I still will remain. 
Am     C             G                 F 
 After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain. 
Am         C        G              F         Dm 
 Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again, 
                 G           Am 
 And there'll be beauty from pain. 
F         G                Am 
 You will bring beauty from my pain 


Verso:
 
My whole world is the pain inside me 
The best I can do is just get through the day 
When life before is only a memory 
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place 

Verso 3: 
And though I can't understand why this happened 
I know that I will when I look back someday 
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes 
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Ponte:
 
F      E         C      Am 
Here I am at the end of me 
F         E       C            Am 
Trying to hold to what I can't see 
     F          Dm 
I forgot how to hope 
     C               Am 
This night's been so long 
  Dm 
I cling to your promise 
      E 
There will be a dawn
