D                       A
 See them come together
                     Em7   (G)
 Oh they would not be apart
D                            A
 For every other day's another
                      Em7        (G)
 And that's the only way to start

[Pre-Chorus]
D                          A
 Can live as one as lovers
                     Em7   (G)
 Live as two as enemies
D                                 A
 So many never know the difference
                             Em7  (G)
 Come step in the dark with me

[Chorus]
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                    Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how loving can be
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how it can be

[Verse 2]
D                           A
 A vicious craving in my bones
                          Em7  (G)
 A needing burning in my mind
D                  A                     Em7         (G)
 Kept me one step away from something I could not find
D                         A                               Em7      (G)
 Until I looked inside my aching heart and saw a hive of honey bees
D                      A                  Em7       (G)
 Making honey from my darkness, gold from my disease

[Pre-Chorus]
           D
 So now I see
                             A
 Can know the world as a lover
                              Em7 (G)
 Can know the world as an enemy
D                                  A
 Oh so many never know the difference
                            Em7 (G)
 Come step in the dark with me

[Chorus]
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                    Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how loving can be
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how it can be

   G            Em7
 Calling out, yeah
   G            Em7
 Calling out, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                    Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how loving can be
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how it can be
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                    Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how loving can be
                             D
 With the pale light in your hands
               A                Em7 (G)
 Before I understand how it can be
