Steady Glow

A C#m


[Verse 1]
   A
The clock on the wall, it never stops ticking
   C#m
It feels almost new but I've been here before
A
I wait for your call but it's never coming
               B       C#m
And I'm always running away

B        A
Sick of "God has a plan"
A
Things happen for a reason
C#m
It feels so unfair that it happened this way
A
The clock on the wall, it never stops ticking
C#m                         E
But your time was cut short


[Chorus]
A                                     C#m    B
    I've been seeing your face in the steady glow
       A
Of the torch I hold
        C#m        B          A
As your flame just burned out so
        A
So suddenly


[Verse 2]
A
We said no goodbyes
A
The last thing you told me was
C#m                                           E
See you next month, when the leaves start to fall
   A
I know that you're gone, I can't help but wonder
   C#m                           E
If you could still hear me now
    A
The funeral home
                          C#m
The man at the podium, he said "Jesus saves"
                 E
But what did he save you from?
A
No goodbyes
                               C#m
The last words you told me are ringing in my head


[Chorus]
A                                     C#m    B
    I've been seeing your face in the steady glow
       A
Of the torch I hold
        C#m        B          A
As your flame just burned out so
        C#m        B          A
As your flame just burned out so
             E
So suddenly


B E C#m E B


[Bridge]
        A
I'd got back to your house on Main
            B
But I don't wanna relive all the pain
          C#m                                 E      B
It's been two years since you left on that September day
       A
I take care of your guitars and your radio collection
B
Promise it's in loving hands
C#m                                E     B A
Two years, I still think about you every day


[Pre-Chorus]
A
The clock on the wall, it never stops ticking
C#m
It feels almost new but I've been here before
  A
I wait for your call but it's never coming
        C#m
And I'm always running away
      B
Yeah, I'm always running away

A E
B E
C#m A


[Chorus]
E             B                       C#m    B
    I've been seeing your face in the steady glow
       A
Of the torch I hold
         C#m        B          A
But your flame just burned out so
               C#m        B
Are you at the top of the world
       A
Or the back of my mind?
         C#m        B          A
But your flame just burned out so
         C#m        B          A
And your flame just burned out so
A
Suddenly


[Outro]
