[A] [Em] And you only [D] need the light when it's burning [A] low
Only [E] miss the Sun when it starts [F#m] to snow
[A] Only [D] know you love her when you [A] let her go

[D] Staring

[F#m] [D]
[E]
[F#m] at the bottom [D] of your glass
Hoping [E] someday you'll make [C#m] the dream last
Dreams come [F#m] slow and they go [D] so [E] fast
