Race You To The Light

F C G C F C G Am

[Pre-Chorus]
F              C
Maybe we'll be together
G            C
When the sun disappears
F                     C
In a house we've been building
G                     Am
For a hundred million years
F                        C
And you can be my little sister
G                     Am
You can be my mother, too


[Chorus]
         F           C
Oh, I'll race you to the light
     G           Am
I'll race you to the light
         F           C
I'll race you to the light
     G           Am
I'll race you to the light


[Verse]
         F           C
Yeah I'll meet you at the corner
          G             Am
'Cause my folks are in a fight
          F           C
Yeah I'll meet you at the corner
          G              Am
And we'll tear across the hill
           F           C
Though I'm not feeling quite right
      G             Am
But I wanna see you still
       F           C
Yeah I always wanna see ya
           G             Am
'Cause you look inside my pain
        F           C
And you cup it with your hands
         G             Am
And you call it by its name
         F       C
Then you bury it between us
       G             Am
In the dirt beneath our feet
       F            C
And we grow from it together
       G              Am
Like a weeping willow tree


[Pre-Chorus]
F                 C
Maybe we'll watch together
G                      C
As the stars write our names
F                 C
From a raft we've been building
G                     Am
Out of hailstones and flames
F                 C
And I can be your little brother
G                     Am
I can be your father too



[Chorus]
         F           C
Oh, I'll race you to the light
     G           Am
I'll race you to the light
         F           C
I'll race you to the light
     G           Am
I'll race you to the light


[Verse]
          F           C
Yeah I'll meet you at the hideout
          G               Am
Where the sticks are lean and tall
          F        C
Where the light is growing darker
         G                 Am
Where we don't feel scared at all
          F                C
'Cause my arms are wrapped around you
          G              Am
With your face against my neck
        F            C
We know magic doesn't happen
        G            Am
Without patience and respect
        F              C
And the halls have all blown open
        G               Am
And the truth is running free
            F           C
There ain't nothing in this world
     G              Am
More alive than you and me
            F           C
There ain't nothing in this world
     G               Am
More alive than you and me
            F           C
There ain't no one in this world
        G               Am
More in love than you and me
         F           C
More in love than you and me
     G           Am
More in love than you and me



[Chorus]
     F           C
I'll race you to the light
     G           Am
I'll race you to the light
