Dark Before The Dawn

[Verse 1]
    C                             Cadd9     Am
I'm thinking tonight of my entire life as a whole
       F                                           C
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
 C                             Cadd9     Am
Alone and forsaken by everyone I've ever known
          F                                 C
Hell I've even abandoned myself some years ago
 
[Chorus]
        Am     G       C
And I'm hardly holding on
       Am     G        C
In the dark before the dawn
 
[Verse 2]
   C                                  Cadd9          Am
Oh I'm living clean, oh I'm getting redeemed on this land
       F                                                    C
But it ain't what you think, it's the toil of a much braver man
C                                     Cadd9   Am
Lately I weep at the strangest things we understand
        F                                               C
Oh like every new line that's defined on the back of my hand
 
[Chorus]
        Am     G       C
And I'm hardly holding on
       Am     G        C
In the dark before the dawn
 
[Verse 3]
      C                               Cadd9    Am
Don't call it religion when I seek salvation inside
   F                                          C
Oh it's just surrendering on yourself to this life
    C                              Cadd9          Am
And man, it gets lonely seeing the spite in their eyes
       F                                       C
Before they walk away being blinded by any old lie
 
[Chorus]
        Am     G       C
And I'm hardly holding on
       Am     G        C
In the dark before the dawn
 
[Outro]
    C                               Cadd9     Am
I'm thinking the night of my entire life as a whole
       F                                           C
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
