about

Before the Dawn was inspired by the obstacles that I faced on my tour to get to Yellowstone.

lyrics

E
When you’ve given all you got
A/E
When you’ve done the best you can
F#mi/E
When its all out on the table
D B/D#
and there is nothing left in your hand

E
When the beating of your heart
A/E
Flutters inside your chest
F#mi/E
When the words that could have resued you
D B/D#
have already been said

C#m
When your mind starts to panic
D/F#
like a sailor lost at sea
G
When your heart is beating SOS
E/G# E
With every fleeting beat


A
There is more
C#m
life beyond the struggle
F#m
There is more
A (walk a b c#) D
life beyond the burdon you carry
A (walk a b c#) D E
and it won’t be very long
G B/F# E
before the dawn


E
When the Climb has left you weak
E/A
when the sky is weighting down
E/F#m
When the stars that could have guided you
D B/D#
are now shrouded in clouds

E
When the light that could have warmed you
E/A
in now blinding your sight
E/F#m
When the game that was so playful
D B/D#
has now turned into a fight
C#m D/F#
Don’t look at me with heavy eyes and say your satisfied
G E/G# E
This is just one shade in all the colors of your life

A
There is more
C#m
life beyond the struggle
F#m
There is more
A (walk a b c#) D
life beyond the burden you carry
A (walk a b c#) D E
and it won’t be very long
G B/F# E
before the dawn
