Son, I see it in your eyes,
           A#                F
There is a burden you cannot hide,

But in their arms, you feel so alive,
           A#                 F     Em
And in a moment you're cast aside.

CHORUS
Dm                            A#             F       Em
All lines have broken, and we need you to hold on,
Dm             F      A                   A#
Your eyes have opened, but you've got to go on.
        F               A
I'll comfort you, I'll stay with you...
         A#           F          A#
It's a promise not forgotten.

Now I hear you in my mind,
             A#                F
There is a story you bring to life

And I will bow gently by your feet,
           A#                      F      Em
But tread softly, you tread on my dreams

CHORUS
Dm                            A#             F       Em
All lines have broken, and we need to you to hold on,
Dm             F      A                   A#
Your eyes have opened, but you've got to go on.
        F              A
I'll comfort you, I'll stay with you...
       A#             F
It's a promise not forgotten.

A                                        A#               F
You're crying all these tears, but they mean to leave you dry
A                                         A#              C
Still fighting all these years about the same old things

We wished we never had

VERSE
F                                      A#                   F
The vision softly fades, but there's a light that still remains,

And in these walls, I feel your sadness wane,
          A#                   F     Em
But in a moment you'll feel no pain.

CHORUS
Dm                            A#             F       Em
All lines have broken, but we need you to hold on,
Dm             F      A                   A#
Your eyes have opened, but you've got to go on.
        F               A
I'll comfort you, I'll sing to you...
         A#           F
It's a promise not forgotten.
