G                C
Death is promised to the bee
G                    C
Who's sting protects the colony.
Am                 D
Was its life worth nothing more
                   G
Than honey for the queen?
 
G               C
Life is a branch and it is a dove,
G             C
Handcrafted by confusing love.
Am               D
Sign language is our reply,
                          G
When church bells make no sound.
 
G               C
In hollow towers and empty hives,
G                  C
We craved sweetness with a fear of heights.
Bm                C
Was it all just a grain of sand
D           Em    Am   D
In an hourglass?
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                  G
The smartest thing I've ever learned 
Em                   D
Is that I don't have all the answers,
C             Em                D
Just a little light to call my own.
          C           Em
Though it pales in comparison
G           D
To the overarching shadows, 
C                    G            D
A speck of light can reignite the sun
    D7               G
And swallow darkness whole.
 
 
G               C
Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss.
G                        C
It is the finger pressed upon our lips.
Am                  D
It puts an unwanted emphasis
                      G
On how we should have lived.
 
G                   C
Life is a gorgeous, broken gift.
G                   C
Six billion+ pieces waiting to be fixed.
Bm                     C
Love letters that were never signed,
D                Em    Am   D
Sent to where we live.
 
[Chorus]
        C                  G
But the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Em                       D
Is that I don't have to have the answers,
C             Em                D
Just a little light to call my own.
          C           Em
Though it pales in comparison
G           D
To the overarching shadows,
C                    G            D
A speck of light can reignite the sun
                     C     G  Em  D  C  Em  D
And swallow darkness whole.
 
C  G  Em  D  C  Em  D
