[Verse 1]
C Em Am
The dark is always coldest before dawn as the day is slowly drawn
C Em Am F
Sunlight and daybreak expose all the wrongs
C Em Am
From the night before, we wanted so much more...
C Em Am
Now all we crave is rest and retreat
[Chorus]
Dm G Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
Dm G Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
Dm G Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
Dm G C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
Loss is always hardest at the start as it breaks the heart
C Em Am
And severs the ties of what once was
C Em Am F
As we move on and realize what's now gone
C Em Am
Learn to celebrate the times we once had
[Chorus]
Dm G Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
Dm G Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
Dm G Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
Dm G C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate
[Bridge]
F Am
Do you ever stop and think how come?
F Am G
Have you ever wondered why we're so numb?
F Am
Though it may not matter in the end
F Am G C
I just can't help but ask will we ascend the weak end?
[Instrumental]
Dm G Am
Dm G C
[Chorus]
Dm G Am
Give me rust over gold like a strength when I'm old
Dm G Am
A balance between the light and dark and a cause to uphold
Dm G Am
Give me love over hate, a meaningful fate
Dm G C
And an honest and humble ability to appreciate
