Verse 1

F C I stood on the colder side of October, F C If I said I was sober, I’d be a liar. F C The devil come easy, and the lord don’t believe me, F C Have I missed my chance to dance around that fire? C Woah, C Woah,

Verse 2

F C Color me hopeful, and drive me back homeward, F C I will not beg to be your fearless man. F C And for all of its beauty when hearts are in bloom, F C Well, love still sees through me, and hangs me to die. C Woah, C Woah, C Woah,

Chorus

F C I let your brightness cover all my dark, F C So could my loneliness be my own fault? F C Quiet son, let nature do her part, F C As if you ever knew your own damn heart,
