Em7
(Intro)

          Em7   Gmaj7      Cmaj9       Em7
There's a clock timing the world as it turns
          Em7 Gmaj7       Cmaj9        Em7
There's a man marking the candle as it burns
        Em7   Gmaj7    Cmaj9         Em7
Keeping track of every minute that remains

         Em7  Gmaj7
Still we hope somehow
           Cmaj9
It's gonna be alright
           Cmaj9
It's gonna turn out fine

          Em7   Gmaj7     Cmaj9             Em7
There's a light shining beyond the southern cross
        Em7    Gmaj7    Cmaj9           Em7
Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost
          Em7   Gmaj7       Am7          B7
More than faith more than a reason to go on

        Em7 Gmaj7

You're gonna win the fight

When the night turns to the deepest shade of black
        Em7   Gmaj7       Cmaj9          Em7
At that point there is no reason to turn back

High above angels are falling from the sky
