2.Whispers in the Dark
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLCgb1QNIOQ
Capo 2
[C]You hold your truth so p[Am]urely
Swerve not thro[G]ugh the m[F]inds of [Am]men
This lie, it is [G]dead
[C]And this cup of yours tastes h[Am]oly
A brush with the devil[G] can clea[F]r your m[Am]ind
And strengthen your sp[G]ine
But fin[Am]gers tap int[F]o what you were o[C]nce
And I'm w[Am]orried that I b[F]lew my only c[C]hance
[F]Whispers in the d[C]ark
Steal a k[G]iss and you'll break a h[Am]eart
Pick up your[F] clothes and curl your t[C]oes
Learn your l[G]esson, lead me [Am]home
Spare my [F]sins for the a[C]rk
I was to [G]slow to d[Am]epart
I'm a [F]cad but I'm not a [Am]flawed
I set [G]out to serve the Lo[C]rd.
[F]But my h[C]eart
Was c[F]older when you'd [C]gone
[F]I lost my h[C]ead
But [F]found the one that I lo[C]ved
Under th[F]e sun[C]
Under t[G]he sun[C]
But fin[Am]gers tap int[F]o what you were o[C]nce
And I'm w[Am]orried that I b[F]lew my only c[C]hance
But fin[Am]gers tap int[F]o what you were o[C]nce
And I'm w[Am]orried that I b[F]lew my only c[C]hance
[F]But my h[C]eart
[F]Was colder when you'd [C]gone[F]
I lost my h[C]ead
[F]But still, while we are [C]young
While we are [Am]young[C]
While we are [Am]young[C]
While we are [Am]young[C]

3.I Will Wait
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kS8RTRi7HA
Capo 1
[C]And I came home
Like a [F]stone
And I fell[C] heavy into your [G]arms
These days of[C] dust
Which we've [F]known
Will blow a[C]way with this new [G]sun
And [Am]I'll k[G]neel [C]down
[F]Wait [C]for [G]now
And [Am]I'll k[G]neel [C]down
Know [F]my [C]ground[G]
And [C]I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
And [C]I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
So break my [C]step
And re[F]lent
You for[C]gave and I won't fo[G]rget
Know what we've [C]seen
And him with [F]less
Now in some [C]way
Shake the ex[G]cess
B[C]ut I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
S[C]o I'll be bold
As well as s[F]trong
And use my [C]head alongside my hear[G]t
So take my [C]flesh
And fix my [F]eyes
That tethered [C]mind free from the lies[G]
But [Am]I'll kn[G]eel dow[C]n
Wa[F]it f[C]or no[G]w
[Am]I'll k[G]neel d[C]own
Know[F] my [C]groun[G]d
R[Am]aise [G]my h[C]ands
P[F]aint my spir[C]it go[G]ld
And [Am]bow [G]my h[C]ead
K[F]eep my hea[C]rt sl[G]ow
C[C]ause I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G]
A[C]nd I will wait, I will wait for y[Em]ou[G] [C]

Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8P6U_80r7Y
Capo 5
I [Am]ran aw[G]ay in floods of [C]shame
I'll never t[G]ell how close I[Am] came
As I c[G]ross the Holland r[C]oad
Yo[Am]u went [G]left and I went r[C]ight
As the [G]moon hung proud and [Am]white
You would of [G]loved it here [C]tonight
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me down
On the[C] cover of this strange [G]bed
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me d[C]own
[Am]Roll out your [G]questions keep them [C]down
Let the [G]water lead us [Am]home
And I was [G]sorry for what I'd [C]done
[Am]You were [G]young I was not [C]old
But our [G]story was not t[Am]old
But torn a[G]part by greedy [C]hands
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me down
On the[C] cover of this strange [G]bed
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me d[C]own
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me down
I'll be [C]gone by the nights [G]end
S[Am]pin me round just to[F] pin me d[C]own
But I'll be [G]home in a little [F]while
Lover I'll be [C]home
But I'll be [G]home in a little [F]while
Lover I'll be [C]home
Am G C G Am G C x2
But I'll be [G]home in a little [F]while
Lover I'll be [C]home
But I'll be [G]home in a little [F]while
Lover I'll be [C]home

Capo 5
You [G]saw my [Em]pain, washed out [C]in the [G]rain
[G]Broken gl[Em]ass, saw the blood run f[C]rom my [G]veins
But you [G]saw no fau[Em]lt no crack in [C]my [G]heart
[G]And you kneel[Em] beside my h[C]ope torn a[G]part
But the [G#m]ghosts that we [Em]knew will [G#m]flicker from [Em]you
And we wil[G]l live a[D] lon[G]g life
So give me [C]hope in the d[G]arkness that I[D] will see the [G]light
Cause o[C]h that [G]gave me such a f[D]right
But [Em]I will [D]hold as l[C]ong as you [G]like
Just [C]promise me [D]we will be alr[Em]ight
So[G] lead me [Em]back, turn [C]south from that [G]place
And close my e[Em]yes from my [C]recent [G]disgrace
Cause you know my c[Em]all
We will[C] share my[G] all
Now children c[Em]ome and they will[C] hear me [G]roar
So give me [C]hope in the d[G]arkness that I[D] will see the [G]light
Cause o[C]h that [G]gave me such a f[D]right
But [Em]I will [D]hold as l[C]ong as you [G]like
Just [C]promise me [D]we will be alr[Em]ight
But [Em]hold me stil[C]l bury my heart on the [G]cold

But the [G#m]ghosts that we [Em]knew will [G#m]flicker from [Em]you
And we wil[G]l live a[D] lon[G]g life

6.Lover of the Light
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZ0OIjHbUI
Capo 2
And in the mi[C]ddle of the night
I may wa[F]tch you [C]go
There'll be no value in the strength
of wall[F]s that [C]I have grown
There'll be no c[F]omfort in the s[G]hade
of the [Am]shado[G]ws th[F]rown
But I'll b[F]e yo[C]urs if you'll [G]be m[C]ine
Stretch out my life
and p[F]ick the seams o[C]ut
Take what you like
but [F]close my e[Em]ars and e[Am]yes
W[F]atch me c[C]rumble [F]ov[C]er and [G]ov[C]er
I have done wrong
so bu[F]ild your t[C]ower
But call me home
and [F]I will b[G]uild a th[Am]rone
And w[F]ash my eyes o[C]ut n[F]ev[C]er a[G]ga[C]in
But love the one you h[F]old
And I'll be your g[G]oal
To have and to ho[Am]ld
A lover of the ligh[C]t
Skin too tight
and e[F]yes like ma[C]rbles
You spin me high
so w[F]atch me a[G]s I gl[Am]ide
B[F]efore I t[C]umble ho[F]mewa[C]rd, ho[G]mewa[C]rd
I know I tried
I [F]was not st[C]able
Flawed by pride
I [F]miss my sa[G]nguine e[Am]yes
So h[F]old my hands [C]up, bre[F]athe [C]in, br[G]eathe [C]out
But love the one you h[F]old
And I'll be your g[G]oal
To have and to ho[Am]ld
A lover of the ligh[C]t
And in the mi[C]ddle of the night
I may wa[F]tch you [C]go
There'll be no value in the strength
of wall[F]s that [C]I have grown
There'll be no c[F]omfort in the s[G]hade
of the [Am]shado[G]ws th[F]rown
You may not t[F]rust the promi[G]ses
of the [Am]change [G]I'll [F]show
But I'll b[F]e yo[C]urs if you'll [G]be m[C]ine
But love the one you h[F]old
And I'll be your g[G]oal
To have and to ho[Am]ld
A lover of the ligh[C]t
But love the one you h[F]old
And I'll be your g[G]oal
To have and to ho[Am]ld
A lover of the ligh[C]t

7.Lovers' Eyes
Chords to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duuALhoygD8
Capo 2
Love was [C]kind, for a time
Now just [G]aches and it makes me [C]blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
I can't [G]see the others in my [C]life
Were we too [C]young? And heads too strong?
To bear the w[G]eight of these lover's e[C]yes.
'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Neath the [G]curse of these lover's [C]eyes.
But do not a[F]sk the price I p[C]ay,
I must l[G]ive with my quiet r[C]age,
Tame the g[F]hosts in my h[C]ead,
That run [G]wild and wish me [C]dead.
Should you shake my [F]ash to the [C]wind
Lord, fo[G]rget all of my [C]sins
Oh, let me [F]die where I [C]lie
Neath the [G]curse of my lover's e[C]yes.[C] [F]
There's no [C]drink nor drug I tried
To rid the [G]curse of these lover's [C]eyes
And I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Your strength just ma[G]kes me feel less s[C]trong
But do not a[F]sk the price I p[C]ay,
I must l[G]ive with my quiet r[C]age,
Tame the g[F]hosts in my h[C]ead,
That run [G]wild and wish me [C]dead.
Should you shake my [F]ash to the [C]wind
Lord, fo[G]rget all of my [C]sins
Oh, let me [F]die where I [C]lie
Neath the [G]curse of my lover's e[C]yes.[F] [C]
And I'll walk s[C]low, I'll walk[G] slo[C]w
Take my [Am]hand, help me [F]on my wa[C]y.
And I'll walk s[C]low, I'll walk[G] slo[C]w
Take my [Am]hand, I'll be [F]on my wa[C]y.
And I'll walk s[C]low, I'll walk[G] slo[C]w
Take my [Am]hand, help me [F]on my wa[C]y.
And I'll walk s[C]low, I'll walk[G] slo[C]w
Take my [Am]hand, I'll be [F]on my wa[C]y.

When I lose my [Em]head, I [D]lose my [C]spine
So [G]leave that [Bm]click in my [Am]head
And I will [Em]remember the [D]words that you [C]said
You[G] brought me [Bm]out from the [Am]cold
Now, how I [Em]long, how I l[D]ong to grow [C]old

The [C]sky [G]I [D]wand[Em]er

10.Broken Crown (Not finished yet but here is lyrics + chorus and bridge chords)
Capo 5
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well you can't tempt me
If I don't see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breath to breath a lie
Cause when I open my body I breath a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all short
But [Am]oh [G]my h[Am]eart w[G]as f[Am]lawed I k[C]new my wea[F]kness
So [Am]hold [G]my h[Am]and c[G]onsign [Am]me not [C]to darkn[F]ess
[Am]Crawl on my b[Em]elly until the [Am]sun goes down
[Am]I'll never w[Em]ear your broken [Am]crown
I took the [F]rope and threw it all aw[Am]ay
This [F]twilight how dare you speak of gra[Am]ce
[Am]Crawl on my b[Em]elly until the [Am]sun goes down
[Am]I'll never w[Em]ear your broken [Am]crown
I took the [F]rope and threw it all aw[Am]ay
This twilig[F]ht how dare you speak of[Am] grace
[Am]Crawl on my b[Em]elly until the [Am]sun goes down
[Am]I'll never w[Em]ear your broken [Am]crown
I took the [F]rope and threw it all aw[Am]ay
In his twil[F]ight are choices seal ou[Am]r fate

Capo 4
You were [G]cold as the [C]blood through your [G]bones
And the [C]light which led us [G]from our chosen [Em]homes
Oh,[C] I was l[G]ost.
So now I sleep
Sleep the [C]hours that I don't w[G]eep
And a[C]ll I knew was s[G]teeped in blackened [Em]holes
Oh[C], I was [G]lost
[Em]Keep the e[C]arth be[G]low my f[D]eet
[Em]For all my [C]sweat, my [G]blood runs [D]weak

Keep my [C]eyes to s[G]erve
My h[C]ands to le[G]arn
Well I was s[G]till
But I was u[C]nder your sp[G]ell
But [C]I was told by J[G]esus
All was [Em]well

14.The Boxer
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQpUs1qNxMM
Capo 5
[G]I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom [Em]told
I have [D]squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are [G]promises
All lies and [Em]jests
Still a [D]man hears what he [C]wants to hear
And disregards the [G]res[D]t[G]
When I [G]left my home and my family
I was no more than a [Em]boy
In the [D]company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station [G]running scared
Laying [Em]low, seeking [D]out the poorer q[C]uarters
Where the ragged people [G]go
Looking f[D]or the places [C]only [D]they would [G]know
Lie-la-l[Em]ie
Lie-la-[Bm]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Em]lie
Lie-la-[D]lie la la la la lie la la la la [G]lie
Asking o[G]nly workman's wages
I come looking for a [Em]job
But I [D]get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on S[G]eventh Avenue
I do [Em]declare, there were [D]times when I was so [C]lonesome
I took some comfort t[G]here
Then I'm l[G]aying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was [Em]gone
Going [D]home
Where the New York City winters aren't bl[G]eeding me
[Em]Bleeding me, going[D] home
Lie la lie ...
In the c[G]learing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his [Em]trade
And he [D]carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or [G]cut him till he cried out
In his [Em]anger and his shame
"I am [D]leaving, I am l[C]eaving"
But the [G]fighter still remains
Lie-la-l[Em]ie
Lie-la-[Bm]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Em]lie
Lie-la-[D]lie la la la la lie la la la la [G]lie

Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqs98atWIe0
Capo 4
It [F]came to the [C]end it [Am]seems you had [C]heard
Cause we [F]walked the city [C]streets,
You [Am]never said a [C]word
When we [F]finally sat [C]down,
Your [Am]eyes were full of [C]spite
I was [F]desperate, I was [C]weak,
I could [Am]not put up a [C]fight
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
You were [F]strangely less than [C]pain
[Am]Than you were [C]cold
Triump[F]hant in your [C]mind
Of the [Am]logic that you h[C]old.
You said [F]no one would ever [C]know
The [Am]love that we had [C]shared
As I t[F]ook my leave to [C]go
It was [Am]clear that you didn't [C]care.
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
And I [F]hear of your c[C]oming
and your [Am]going in the t[C]own.
I hear [F]stories of your s[C]mile,
I hear [Am]stories of your [C]frown.
You said[F] no one would ever[C] know
The [Am]love that we had [C]shared
As I t[F]ook my leave to [C]go
It was [Am]clear that you didn't [C]care.
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
[F]Where are you [C]now?
[Am]Where are you [C]now?
Do you [F]ever think of [C]me
In the [Am]quiet, in the [C]crowd?
