• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 Intro:

Am

🎸 Verse 1:
Am             C        Dm
From what I've gathered you grew up nice and sheltered
   Em      G      F        E
With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies
E
And mama gave me a magic clicker
            F    E    Am
Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say

Am            Dm        E
C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing
    Am            Dm     E       Am
Of the fire you're bearing, the eye of the darkness, your light

Am              F   G
So you were drawn to stories early on
Am              F    E
My dreams would light up my imagination
Am           F     G
And you had nightmares night and day
Am              F      E    Am
Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away
Am
Who knew?
E
So true

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Am      G    Dm   E
So here is a clue of hope to remember
Am      G     Dm     E      Am
Visions they come true obeying the light switch too

🎸 Chorus:
Fm           C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm             C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm           C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm         C
Diving deep to the surface

🎸 Verse 2:
Am           C         Dm
And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers
Em      G    F   E
of hardboiled killers became bestsellers
E           F   E  Am
It was all too much, I had to get away

Am       G     Dm      E
The story's the end all, a piece of true fiction
 Am           Dm   E   Am
Made meaningless in the face of creation

Am              F     G
But there is more to it than meets the eye
Am           F    E     Am
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
Am            F   G
Would you say you lived a jaded lie
Am         F  E    Am
Dark shades could never save the day
Am
So sad,
E
But true

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Am      G     Dm     E
Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch
Am          Dm   E    Am
A gift or a curse, a reality made of dreams

🎸 Chorus:
Fm           C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm             C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm           C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm         C
Diving deep to the surface

🎸 Verse 3:
     Am           Dm     Am E
He could write a new story like Tom Zane before him
   Am          Dm  E
And maybe they'd be happy once again
   Am              Dm         E
Just one shot, one more chance for him to save their marriage
  Am         Dm    E A# Am A# E
Away from the city, a romantic getaway

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   Am       G       Dm        E
Still he's the torch bearer and it couldn't be much clearer
Am       G    Dm    E
A war needs its warrior, true and right
     Am         Dm    E
But the darkness within him held her hostage
    Am    G          Dm        E        Am
Had he seen her drowning, would have save her from the darkness of the lake

🎸 Chorus:
Fm           C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm             C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm           C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm         C
Diving deep to the surface

Am          F      E
Such a Dark Place? Am I trapped in here
Am       F    E
Is this real? I cannot remember
Am          F      E
There was a manuscript it held a key
Am                  Dm
A vicious cycle I must not surrender to
A#  A7       Dm
Echo scenes to seek out
A#  A7 Dm
Again and again
A#   A7    Dm
Until I figure it out
A#      A7     Dm A# C
To bring this song to its end

🎸 Chorus:
Fm           C#
Show me the Champion of Light
Fm             C
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Fm           C# C
Lost in a never ending night
Fm         C
Diving deep to the surface
