[C]Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down [G]Maybe I’ve stormed out of every single room in this town [Dm]Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now [F]It’s brighter now, now

[C]Like [G]daylight, it’s [Dm]golden like [F]daylight You gotta [C]step into the daylight and let it [G]go Just let it [Dm]go, let it [F]go [C] [G] [Dm]I wanna be defined by the things that I love [F]Not the things I hate Not the things that I’m [C]afraid of, I’m afraid of Not the things [G]that haunt me in the middle of the night [Dm]I, I just think that [F]You are what you love [C] [G] [Dm] [F] [C] [G]
