so, hold on, hold on, hold on, open the sky


Temptation and I
empty bedroom at night
alone as the dawn's iron gates
in the workhouse light
eyes in the firefight
so, hold on, hold on, hold on, open the sky

   
  G        D
When dawn comes
     E
the morning bleeds
  G             D
that drink who were
    E
a drink to sleep
G            D
so are the shouts
      Bm
that calls you
     G                   A
who wants you to play again


Temptation and I
temptation and I
comes the morning whistles the sign
brings on the light
memory brings light
so, hold on, hold on, hold on, open the sky

the morning it bleeds

that dawn comes, drink were

a drink to sleep

just like dawn comes
