VERSE 1:
                  
  You woke the morning up
                
Running off my darkest night
                         
The longest light I've seen
                     
  Here goes a chance I know
               
Cashing in on all my chips
                   
Let all my ships come fly

PRECHORUS 1:
                                  
These days, a little bit longer than the last
                                               
And all of these ways, a little bit stronger than the past
                             
And your light, found my bottle in the night
                                 
Gave me second life, kept me in this fight

CHORUS:
                
And I won't back down
             
I won't turn around and around
                
And I won't back down
        
Doesn't matter what comes crashing down
                       
I'm still gonna stand my solid ground

INSTRUMENTAL:
   
  

VERSE 2:
                        
  You found me once and for all
                       
I laid it down in the sinking ground
                   
The hopeless undertow
                     
  Singing out the gentle sound
                   
Rattling through my smoking screens
                   
My broken dreams last night

PRECHORUS 2:
                                  
These days, a little bit longer than the last
                                              
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
                                    
And all of your light, found my bottle in the night
                                  
Kept me in this fight, gave me second life

BRIDGE:
/     /           /
Hallelu - jah ripped through my veins
  /         
I heard the hammer drop
   /      /
My blood in the rain
/     /     /
Hallelu - jah came like a train
     / 
When all is   lost
/         
All is left to gain
