The Projectionist

     C                      Am        G     C
When I was young I fell in love with story
           Am                     G         F
With the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory
     C                      Am        G     C
The theater lights dim and all goes quiet
         Am                      G          F
In the darkest of rooms, light shines the brightest


[Verse 2]
     C                  F
When hands are tied and clocks are ticking
C              Am              G     F
An audience convinced: we’re leaning in
            Am       G
Holding our breath again
     C                   F
Just when we thought the game was over
C                       Am     G      F
The music lifts and our dying soldier lives!
                 C       G
And we breathe a sigh of relief


[Chorus]
      F    C   Am    G               F      C      G
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving our shadows behind us now
      F    C   Am    G          F      C       G
We're leaving, we'€™re leaving it all behind for now


[Verse 3]
    C             Am
But even dust was made to settle
C                    Am         G          F                  C  G
And if we’re made of dust, then what makes us any different?
    C                Am
I guess we give what we’ve been given:
C                     Am      G      F
A family tree so very good at giving up
               C    G
When we’ve had enough
       Am            G
Though truth is heavier than fiction
C                    Am        G         F
Gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape


[Pre Chorus]
F     C                   Am    G
        And it makes us brave again
F     C                   Am    G
        And it makes us brave again
F     C                  G
        And it makes us brave


[Chorus]
         F    C   Am    G               F      C      G
So we'€™re leaving, we'™re leaving our shadows behind us now
      F    C   Am    G           F      C       G
We're leaving, we're leaving it all behind for now
F    C                 Am    G
       And it makes us brave again
F    C                 G
       And it makes us brave
      F    C   Am    G            F      C       G
We'€™re leaving, we're leaving 'em all behind for now
