[Verse 1]
D Cadd9
Morning comes too early,
D Cadd9
And night time falls too late
Am G C
And sometimes all I want to do is wait
Am G
The shadow I've been hiding in
Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7
Has fled from me today
D
I know it's easier
Bm7 Em
To walk away than look it in the eye.
Am G C
But I will raise a shelter to the sky
Am G C
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie
Am G
She will slowly yield the light
C D
As I awaken from the longest night
[Instrumental]
G C D Cadd11
G C D Cadd11
G C D Cadd11
[Verse 2]
G C
Dreams are shaking set sirens waking up tired eyes
D F
With the light the memories all rush into his head.
G C
By a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul she dances
D F
She was dancing through the night above his bed.
C/G
And walking to the window
D G
He throws the shutters out against the wall
C/G D
And from an ivory tower hears her call
G C D Cadd11
"Let light surround you"
[Verse 3]
G C
It's been a long, long time, he's had a while to think it over
D
In the end he only sees the change
F
Light to dark, dark to light
Light to dark, dark to light
G
Heaven must be more than this
C
When angels waken with a kiss
D
Sacred hearts won't take the pain
F
But mine will never be the same
C/G
He stands before the window
D G
His shadow slowly fading from the wall
C/G D
And from an ivory tower he hears her call
G
"Let the light surround you"
[Instrumental]
G C D Cadd11

[Bridge]
Am D
Once I was but I was found.
Em
When I heard the stained glass
G A Am
Shatter all around me.
C G Am G
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
Em G A
But I will hold this one on high above me still
Am Bm7
She whispers words to clear my mind.
C D G
I once could see but now at last, I'm blind.
[Outro]
Cmaj7
D
I know it's easier
Bm7 Em7
To walk away than look it in the eye.
Am G C
But I have given all that I could take.
Am G C
And now I've only habits left to break.
Am G C
Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded
D G
In all the light.

Morning comes too early
and nighttime falls too late
And sometimes all I want to do
is wait
The shadow I've been hiding in
has fled from me today
I know it's easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
But I will raise a shelter to the sky
and here beneath this
star tonight I'll lie
She will slowly yield the light
As I awaken from the longest
night
Dreams are shaking
Set sirens waking up tired eyes
With the light the memories
all rush into his head
By a candle stands a mirror
Of his heart and soul she
dances
She was dancing thru the night
above his bed
And walking to the window
he throws the shutters out
against the wall
And from an ivory tower hears
her call
"Let light surround you"
It's been a long, long time
He's had a while to think it over
In the end he only sees the
change
Light to dark
Dark to light
Light to dark
Dark to light
Heaven must be more than this
When angels waken with a kiss
Sacred hearts won't take the
pain
But mine will never be the same
He stands before the window
His shadow slowly fading from
the wall
And from an ivory tower hears
her call
"Let the light surround you"
Once lost but I was found
When I heard the stained glass
shatter all around me
I sent the spirits tumbling
down the hill
But I will hold this one on high
above me still
She whispers words to clear my mind
I once could see but now at last
I'm blind
I know it's easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
But I had given all that
I could take
And now I've only habits left
to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light
