[C#] [D#m]
[C#] [B]
[F#] There's a rhythm [C#] in rush [D#m] these days Where the lights don't move [C#] and the colors
[B] don't fade
[F#] Leaves you empty [C#] with nothing [D#m] but dreams
In a world gone shallow, [C#] in a world [B] gone mean
[F#] Sometimes there's things [C#] a man [D#m] cannot know The gears won't turn [C#] and the leaves [B] won't
grow There's
[F#] no place to run [C#] and no [D#m] gasoline
The engine won't turn [C#] and the train [B] won't leave
The [D#m] engines won't turn [C#] and the train [B] won't leave
[F#] I [G#m] will stay [F#] with [B] you tonight
[C#] Hold you close [D#m] till the [G#] morning light
Come on and watch [F#] the new day [B] rise We'll [C#] do whatever [D#m] just to [G#] stay alive
[C#] We'll do whatever [D#m] just to [B] stay alive [F#] The way I feel is [C#] the way [D#m] I ride
It's like the [C#] thoughts of a man [B] who lies There [F#] is a truth and [C#] it's on [D#m] our side
Dawn is coming, [C#] open [B] your eyes
[D#m] Look into the sun [C#] as the new [B] days rise
[F#] And I [G#m] will wait [F#] for you [B] tonight
[C#] Be here forever [D#m] and you're by [G#m] my side
I've [F#] been [G#m] waiting [F#] all my [B] life
[C#] Fill your heart [D#m] as it's keeping [G#m] time
We'll [C#] do whatever [D#m] just to [B] stay alive
[F#] [C#]
[B]
[F#] [C#]
[D#m] [B]
[F#] Dawn is [C#] coming, open your [B] eyes
[F#] Dawn is [C#] coming, open your [B] eyes
[F#] [C#]
[B]
[F#] [C#]
[B] Look
[F#] [C#]
[B]
[F#] into the [C#] sun as the new days [B] rise
[F#]
There's a rhythm [C#m] unwashed [F#] these days [D#m] Where the lines don't move [C#] and the colors
[B] don't fade
[F#] Leaves you empty [C#] with nothing [D#m] but dreams
And the world gone shallow [C#] and the world [B] gone mean
But [F#] there is a truth and [C#] it's on our [D#m] side Dawn is coming, [C#] open [B] your eyes
[D#m] Look into the sun [C#] as the new [B] days rise
