D
Perhaps it is fitting
        C                         Em
The sky heavy and spitting at the ground
    D
The sun hid above us
       C                        D
With a grip on my breath it had found
    C                  G
I’d let it out slow as you stood to go
       D              Bm           Em
And it rose high just as I slipped down
       G
Then I whispered your name
        D              B         Em
Knowing well you would not turn around
 
 
[Chorus]
   D
We stand at the door
         C
Like the holy make war
G          D           Em
Both of us sure we are right
        C
We move through it unseen
        G          Em
For the darkness between us
    D                      G
But I mean to leave on the light

 
 
[Verse 2]
D
I want to let go of
    C                 Em
All I think I know of how
    D
Our story unwinds
          C                        D
And might turn back to find us somehow
      C                     G
We’ve both turned away when wisdom would say
      D             Bm           Em
We’ve squandered forgiveness and time
        G
And all they would allow
           D     B          Em
If I could offer both of us mine
 
 
[Chorus]
   D
We stand at the door
         C
Like the holy make war
G          D           Em
Both of us sure we are right
        C
We move through it unseen
        G          Em
For the darkness between us
    D                      G
But I mean to leave on the light
 
 
[Bridge]
     F
What held us together
Am                       G
Lay like a feather in my hand
F                         E7
Not enough weight now for flight
                  Am
Or the freedom to land
        C
We each take from the other
    Em                      F
Now struggle is all that we share
 
It’s less than I am
    Em                      D
And more than I think I can bear
 
 
[Chorus]
   D
We stand at the door
         C
Like the holy make war
G          D           Em
Both of us sure we are right
        C
We move through it unseen
        G          Em
For the darkness between us
    D                      Em
But I mean to leave on the light
    D                      G
But I mean to leave on the light
