  Just when the sky runs out of rain
G                         F#
  Just when the sun runs out of light

  I will be there,
       D                     A         E
I will be the smallest piece in everything
                            F#
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you

  Just when the air is sick with smoke
E                        A/C#
  Just when the statues start to cry

  And fallen angels they lay broken
