G CThere's a certain point the body can't come back from
G CIn one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
CThe depth that the chest cavity takes
GChuck was there for three out of three
CI was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
DThere for the one who was closest to me
CBut I can't say I'd run when things get hard
DIt's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
EmBut I've had to let it break a little more
Bm'Cause they say that's what it's for
[Chorus]
C DThat's how the light shines in....
CThat's how the light shines in
Em D CThat's how the light gets in......
[Interlude]
G F.......
[Verse 2]
C DSo everyone was there, they were standing and laughing
G D/F# Em DAnd I'm on the side with my tears streaming down
C DThere's something about the clutch of the wrist
G D/F# Em DHe thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
CWe've only got hours
C DAnd I just can't stop crying 'cause all of the ways
G D/F#When you see someone dying
Em D CYou see all your days flash in front of you
G D/F# Em DAnd you think about who would be with you........
C DAnd then there's Donoghue....
[Interlude]
G Em C D..............
[Bridge]
GDaddy, I miss them
CI'm in the mountains
BmI'm probably running away from the feelings I get
DWhen I think of all the things about them
EmDaddy, I miss them
CI'm at the Roadrunner Café
BmI'm probably running away from the thoughts in the day
DI had things to Do with them, but they say
[Chorus]
C DThat's how the light shines in..
CThat's how the light shines in
Em DThat's how the light gets in....
[Verse 4]
C DThink by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open
G D/F# Em DFinally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
C D G D/F#Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me.......
Em D C DThere's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
G D/F# EmThey sang folk songs from the '40s
D C D
Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin"
G D/F# Em DHow Do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
C D G D/F# Em DI don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing...........
[Chorus]
C DThat's how the light gets in....
F C DThat's how the light gets in......
[Bridge]
GBut daddy, I miss them
CI'm at the Roadrunner Café
BmProbably running away from the feelings today
DIn the snow-capped mountains of the desert
EmDaddy, I miss them
CI'm in the mountains
GProbably running away, I've been meaning to say
DThat there's nothing to Do except know that this is
[Chorus]
EmHow the light gets in
D CLike the cracking, the light gets in
EmIt's how the light gets in
CThat's how the light gets in
CThat's how the light gets in
EmThen you're golden
D C Em D CAh, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah ah ah ah
C DJust another folk song, but anyway
G D/F# Em DI try so hard, but that's okay
C DIt's how the light gets in...
F CIt's how the light gets in....
C D F C DIt's how the light...gets in.......
