Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal

You let me in to a conversation

Whatever's in there, it's yours to take.

And I'm a long, long way from your hill of Calvary,

If there is a light, you can't always see,
F# G#m
And there is a world we can't always be.
E B
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
F# N.C.
And this is a light, don't let it go out.
