 Em                              
 A time of change, a time to rest
 Em                                       A 
 Bolt up the windows, dig in hard shoulder
                A                
 Then come out, to give yourself,
 A                           Em    Em 
 to give yourself a fighting chance
 
 Em                                    
 I've seen those eyes, I know that face
 Em                                
 So many search for a resting place
 Em                                       
 Just give me your word, that's all I need
 Em                                           A 
 No time to lose, I've wasted too much already
 A                                                        A Em Em 
 Making plans by the ninety, taking action by the new time

 Em                                   
 The lonely search in the silent halls
 Em                                       
 Hunters prowl around wounded in the night
 A                                      A 
 By an unknown enemy, who runs them down
 A                                   Em Em 
 By wearing a hundred different masks
 
 Em                              
 With darkness closing all around
 Em                                  
 Your light is small but let it shine
           A                       A     A 
 That much brighter, everytime, everytime
 A                   Em Em 
 Everytime I look to you

 Em                                  G A 
 Urgent embrace and a love that calls
 Em                                           G A Em 
 Throw away the old -- and greet the emergency
