Lyrics: VERSE 2x [ C / C (A Bass) / C (F Bass) / C (G Bass) ] It was a common goal, tell parted souls the game we chose, the rolling dice that show All the way we have gone with the wind and the sky, we still carried our lives Chorus 3x [ F / Am / C / G ] And stepped into the shade, the light was only inches away.
