[Fm]
[G]
[Fm]
Through the night, through the dawn, [Db]
[Fm] behind you another runner is born.
Don't look back, you've [Db] been there, see [Fm] the mist is your breath, it's the air, [Bb]
and [Fm] it's
underneath the moonlight.
Passing songs to your heart, reaching the moonlight [Db] like a [F] drum.
Through the night, through the dawn, behind you another runner is born.
Don't look back, you've been [Bbm] there, see [F] the mist is your breath, it's the air, and it's
[G] underneath [Fm] the [Db] moonlight.
[Bbm] Passing songs to [F] your [C] heart, [Fm] reaching the [Db] moonlight like [Eb] a drum.
[Db] And you will [G] run your time, a shooting star [Eb]
across [F] the sky, and [Bbm] you will surely cross [F] the line.
So pass on the flame, [Bbm] [F]
some come up, some go down.
[Bbm]
Hear [F] the people, see the sweat on [Fm] the ground.
Watch your step, [F] keep your [G] cool, so [F] you can see what's in [Bbm] front of you.
And [G] it's underneath [Fm] the [Db] moonlight, [Bbm] passing songs to your [Gm] heart, [Ab] reaching the [Db] moonlight
like a drum.
And you [Bbm] will [F] run your [Gm] time, a shooting star [Eb]
[Bbm] across the sky, and you will surely cross
[F] the line.
[Db] So pass on the [Cm] flame, [Fm] [Cm] [Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Fm] pass on the flame.
[Bb] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Eb]
[Fm] Through the night, through the dawn, [Bb]
[Fm] behind you another runner is [Bb] born.
Don't [Fm] look back, you've been there, [Eb]
see [Fm] the mist is your breath, it's the air, and it's
[Eb] underneath [Fm] the [Db] moonlight.
[Eb] Passing songs to your [G] heart, [Fm] reaching the [Db] moonlight like a drum.
And you will [Eb] run your [Fm] time, [G] a shooting [Eb] star [Bbm] across the sky, and you will surely cross [F] the line.
And you will run your time, [C] [Fm] a shooting [Db] star [Eb]
across the sky, [Fm] and you [Db] will surely cross [Bbm] the line.
