[Verse 1]
A Dadd9
There's a certain point the body can't come back from
A Dadd9
In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
D
The depth that the chest cavity takes
A
Chucky was there for three out of three
D
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
E
There for the one who was closest to me
Dadd9
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
E
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
D
But I've had to let it break a little more
A
'Cause they say that's what it's for
[Chorus]
F#m A
That's how the light shines in
D
That's how the light shines in
F#m A D
That's how the light gets in (Mm-mm)
[Instrumental]
A A G G
[Verse 2]
D E
So everyone was there, they were standin', laughin'
A G#dim F#m E
And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down
D E
There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist
A G#dim F#m E
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
D
We've only got hours
D E
And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
A G#dim
When you see someone dyin'
F#m E D
You see all your days flash in front of you
A G#dim F#m E
And you think about who would be with youuuuuuuu
D E
And then there's Donoghue
[Instrumental]
A G#dim F#m E D E
[Bridge]
A
Daddy, I miss them
D
I'm in the mountains
A
I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get
E C#
When I think all the things about them
F#m
Daddy, I miss them
D
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
A
I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day
E
I'd have things to do with them, but they say
[Chorus]
F#m A
That's how the light shines in
D
That's how the light shines in
F#m A
That's how the light gets in
[Verse 3]
D E
Think by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open
A G#dim F#m E
Finally, the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
D E A G#dim
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
F#m E D E
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's "Kintsugi"
A G#m F#m
They sang folk songs from the '40s
E D E
Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin"
A G#dim F#m E
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
D E A G#m F#m E
But don't know anyone left to know songs that I siiiiiiing
[Chorus]
D E
That's how the light gets in
G D
That's how the light gets in
[Bridge]
A
But daddy, I miss them
D
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
A
Probably runnin' away from the feelings today
E
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert
F#m
Daddy, I miss them
D
I'm in the mountains
A
Probably runnin' away, I've been meaning to say
E C#
That there's nothing to do except know that this is
[Chorus]
F#m
How the light gets in
D E
Like cracking, the light gets in
F#m
It's how the light gets in
D
That's how the light gets in
D
That's how the light gets in
F#m D F#m
Then you're golden, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
D
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
D E
Just another folk song, but anyway
A G#dim F#m E
I try so hard, but that's okay
D E
It's how the light gets in
G D
It's how the light gets in
D E G D
It's how the light gets in
[Outro]

There's a certain point the body can't come back from

Chucky was there for three out of three
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to me
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
But I've had to let it break a little more
'Cause they say that's what it's for
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light gets in
So everyone was there, they were standing and laughing
And I'm on the side with my tears streaming down
There's something about the clutch of the wrist

And I just can't stop crying 'cause all of the ways
When you see someone dying
You see all your days flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's Donoghue

When I think of all the things about them

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Think by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into rain
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
They sang folk songs from the '40s
