B
 Keep my mind over matter

 Cuz I’ve seen my hope shatter

Where have I been

 The ones that tell me that I'm wrong
Bm             F#m
  I hear them now

  Burning fears

 I picked a path out in the woods
Bm             F#m
  I've made mistakes

Album: The Edge of the Earth 
==================================================================================================
Verse 1:
   G#m           E            B
Sunlight, fading fast, make it last
       F#/A#  C#m                 G#m
Like a flame, flickers then it’s past 
    G#m            E        B
Moonlight fades to dark, carry on
    F#/A#             C#m               G#m
You never know what’s real until it’s gone
Prechorus 1:
F#/A#          E            B
Love deals the currency of loss
      F#/A#   E          F#/A#
Don’t ever forget what it costs
Chorus:
     G#m     E
Hold on to me
B          F#/A#
Carry me through
    G#m  E
Our story
     B               F#/A#
Is a pain that we outgrew
      G#m                E
Yeah, you can’t call it love
             B   F#/A#
Until you’ve lost
       G#m
If you love someone
F#/A#
This is what it costs
Interlude: G#m E B F#
Verse 2:
     G#m        E     B
This city cries softly tonight
       F#/A#             C#m              G#m
Like a million teardrops from a thousand eyes
    G#m                  E              B
I’m drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne sky
          F#/A#       C#m          G#m
Wondering how it is I feel so dry inside
Prechorus 2:
     F#/A#         E                 B
Well love uses the pain to drill the holes
   F#/A#        E              F#/A#
To irrigate our dry and thirsty souls
Chorus
Interlude:
G#m E B  F#

D#m G#m E   F#
Outro:
   G#m           E            B

Sunlight, fading fast, make it last

This song is in 7/8, divided as 4+3/8 or 4+2+1/8. 
Also I’m not too sure of some of the lyrics, so apologies if any are wrong.
There is also some muddying between A/Am and D/Dm, so if you want to be safe play A5 and D5.
