[Verse 1]
Dsus        D     Dsus          D
Come by the fire, lay down your head
Dsus        D
My love, I see you're growing tired

So set the bad day by the bed
           A
And rest a while, your eyes can close
          Bm                             G
You don’t have to do a thing but listen to me sing
                    D    Dsus
I know you miss the world, the one you knew
              D
The one where everything made sense

Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works
A
’Til the bottom drops out and you learn
Bm             G
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground


[Chorus]
D                                            F#m
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
                                      Bm
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out
G       A                                 D
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
                                      F#m
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
                        Bm                  G#m7b5
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
      D/A           A7               D    Dsus
We'll say we did not give up on love today

[Verse 2]
Dsus          D     Dsus   D
I'll show you good, restore your faith
Dsus          D
I’ll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
               A
Convince you, love, don’t breathe it in
         Bm                              G
You were written in the stars that we go swimming in
              D    Dsus
And it has no name, no guarantee
              D
It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
           A
But that’s enough, if the bottom drops out
          Bm       G
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground


[Chorus]
D                                            F#m
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
                                      Bm
Though I know it's blinding there’s a way out
G       A                                 D
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
                                      F#m
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
               Bm                    G#m7b5
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
D/A              A7                  D  Dsus  D
We'll say we did not give up on love today
Dsus  G          A7                  D   Dsus
We'll say we did not give up on love today
