sometimes it'[A]s hard to sing a bright song when th[E]e world outsides so dark
and it'[D]s hard to keep our hopes when w[A]e know it's go[E]nna break our hearts
[A]but sometimes when I'm singing and I[E]'m singing with my friends
well i [D]feel like we are warriors we are [A]wizards we will [E]win
chorus
but o[A]uts[G]ide the [D]walls of this [A]place s[A]omeones given [G]up on life they[D]'re well
beyond our [A]voices range
[A]when this night is [G]through we got d[D]emons left to [A]face and we all do what we
can [G]do to keep them at bay[A][G][D]
verse (same as above)
now you can find a lover, you can make them your best friend, you can lay in bed all day
and you can kiss all over them
then the world outside will shimmer, the world outside will shine every song that you
hear sung will be beautiful and bright
chorus(same as chorus)
but the stray cats will still be starving and the bodies will still be falling into graves
the darkness will be waiting out there in the shadows and we all do what we can do to
keep it at bay
verse
or you can get a job and you can lose yourself in work
you can buy the things you want say 'my boss is such a jerk'
and then you can pretend you got it all under control
you can work hard every week and on the weekend you let go.
chorus
but you'll feel that monster in the closet, you will know that it is gonna come for
you one day
so you can turn up your tv, you can pour yourself a drink
we all do what we can do, to keep it at bay
outro (same as chorus)
tonight I will sing as loud as i can keep away keep away keep away keep away
for tonight we will fight, and tonight we will win, we will keep the darkness at bay, we
will keep the darkness at bay
